While you can experiment, maida contributes to the crispy texture. Whole wheat flour may alter the crunch, but feel free to try and adjust proportions accordingly.
Can I air-fry the cauliflower for a healthier option?
Air frying is a healthier alternative, giving you a similar crispy texture without deep frying. Adjust the time and temperature based on your air fryer settings.
Any suggestions for a dipping sauce?
Try pairing Cauliflower Fry with a zesty mint yoghurt dip or a sweet and sour tamarind chutney for an extra burst of flavour.
