Notes

Soaking the cauliflower in hot water is enough
  1. Make sure the cauliflower is completely drained. It should have moisture but water shouldn't drip. That's is enough for the mixing
  2. For tangy flavor use chaat masala. Add any flavor of your choice
  3. Marinating is optional. You can marinate for a few hours but even the instant version turns crispy
  4. Baking soda is not required if you are deep frying. Follow all the steps. Make sure the oil is hot

Tips to chop cauliflower

  1. Always trim the stick stem
  2. Make sure florets are bite-sized pieces
  3. Avoid fine crumble
  4. Use fresh cauliflower. Avoid frozen ones
