1

Cut through the stems of the cauliflower to free the florets from the core.

2

Trim larger florets down by cutting longitudinally through the stems.

3

Transfer the cauliflower florets to a steamer and steam for 20 minutes until tender.

4

Remove the cauliflower from the steamer and place it on a platter lined with paper towels to absorb excess water and cool.

5

Combine all dried herbs and spices in a spice grinder and pulse until fine, then set aside.

6

Crack 2 large eggs into a medium bowl and add 100 milliliters of milk, whisking until well combined.

7

Measure 1 cup of all-purpose flour into another bowl and mix in the herb and spice blend until combined.

8

Sprinkle an even layer of the herb and spice blend onto a large platter to prevent sticking.

9

Dip each cauliflower floret into the egg mixture to wet it all over, then dredge in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.

10

Heat oil to 180°C (350°F) and carefully drop the florets into the oil piece by piece.

11

Fry the cauliflower for 2-3 minutes until crispy and golden.

12

Remove the cauliflower from the oil using a slotted spoon and transfer to a bowl lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
