Fried Cauliflower
Description
Perfect with meals and drinks. Fried cauliflower can easily stand in for the most delicious and very healthy pastries. I often eat this dish during afternoon tea or as a light snack. I especially like dipping the fried cauliflower florets in some spicy sauce. Fried cauliflower is extremely simple to make. The cauliflower needs to be boiled. While it cooks, prepare a batter from flour, milk, and eggs. Then coat the boiled florets in the batter and fry them in vegetable oil. It can be served warm or chilled.
