Equipment

  • Air Fryer - I used Instant pot Air fryer lid

Ingredients

  • 1 large head of Cauliflower Cut to florets
  • 1 large capsicum any color
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup corn flour
  • 2 tbs paprika
  • 2 tbs spicy hot chilli sauce I used Schezwan chilli sauce
  • 1 tbs Ginger garlic paste
  • 3/4 cup Tomato sauce
  • 4 tbs soy sauce mix of dark and light
  • 2 tbs rice vinegar
  • 1-2 spring onions for garnish Optional
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Cut the cauliflower in to big florets.
  • Add the all purpose flour, corn flour, paprika and salt to the cut florets and coat the florets well with the mix. The flour should coat all the florets.
  • Sprinkle some water so the flour sticks to all the florets evenlyif needed
  • Let it sit for 5-10 mins.
  • Heat up the Air fryer in Air fryer mode ( mine was set to 400 degree )
  • Air fry the cauliflower florets in 2- 3 batches upto to 20 minutes or until crisp in batches.

For Sauce

  • Heat a little oil in the deep pan and add ginger garlic paste and cut shallots
  • Now add in the cut capsicum and give it a quick fry for 2 mins.
  • When fried add in the chilli sauce, tomato paste, soy sauce and rice vinegar to it and cook it for 2 mins.
  • Ensure the sauce is not too thick. Add water as needed.
  • Add the fried cauliflower florets to the sauce and toss well. Make sure to coat every bit.
  • Sprinkle spring onion greens on it.

Notes

  • To make the dish keto friendly simply replace the corn flour and all purpose flour with almond flour and little egg ( I have not tried this myself)
