This crunchy, spicy, garlicky snack is everyone's favorite back home. And it's not really very hard to make! Here goes my version. Try this!

Ingredients

• 1 medium Cauliflower - cut into florets
• 1 medium Onion - coarsely chopped
• 3 Garlic Cloves - thinly sliced
• 6 Green Chillies - slit lengthwise
• 1/2 Green Pepper - cut lengthwise
• 1 tsp Ginger-Garlic paste
• 2 tsp Red Chilli Powder
• 1 cup All-purpose Flour (Maida)
• 1 cup Corn Flour
• Salt to taste
• 2 tbsp Tomato Chilli Sauce
• 1 tbsp Green Chilli sauce
• 1 tbsp Soy Sauce
• Oil to fry
• 1 tbsp Butter - melted

Method

• Mix the all-purpose flour, corn flour, red chilli powder, 1 tbsp tomato chilli sauce, ginger-garlic paste, melted butter and salt. Add warm water and make it into a thick paste.
• Heat the oil. Dip the cauliflower florets into the above batter and deep fry them until golden brown. Spread them evenly on a paper towel and let cool.
• In a wok, heat some oil. Add the onions, garlic and green chillies and saute till the onions are a li'l tender but not completely cooked.
• Add a pinch of salt, the remaining tomato chilli sauce, green chilli sauce, soy sauce and the green pepper. Saute just a li'l bit. The green pepper should still be crispy. (I used Red Pepper since I didn't have a green one)
• Take this off the heat and add the fried cauliflower florets and toss it all together. Make sure the cauliflower is completely cooled. If not it won't remain crispy.
• Serve immediately.
