Ingredients
  

  • 1 large cauliflower

Batter

  • 4 cups gram flour
  • 1 tbsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp sriracha hot sauce add more if desired
  • 1 tsp dried garlic granules
  • 1 pinch sea salt & ground black pepper

Crispy coating

  • 2-3 cups panko breadcrumbs or any breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • Begin by assembling all of your ingredients.
    Wash the cauliflower and break it into smaller, bite-sized florets.
    Add the breadcrumbs and sesame seeds to a medium-sized bowl.
    Place the gram flour, garam masala, sriracha, dried garlic and seasoning into a large bowl.
  • Mix the breadcrumbs together with a spoon.
    Mix the gram flour mixture together with a spoon then add a dash of water gradually until you reach a thick batter consistency. If you add too much water, you will need to add a bit more flour until you have a thick batter. A thin batter will not coat the cauliflower sufficiently.
  • Now add a piece of cauliflower to the gram flour mixture and coat it all over. Then place the coated cauliflower in the breadcrumb mixture and ensure it is evenly coated.
  • Add the coated cauliflower florets to a baking tray - you will probably need 2 trays. 
  • Place the trays into the oven and bake for about 20 mins in a preheated oven at 180 degrees C.
    Serve warm with some creamy vegan mayo and chopped chives.
