Ingredients
Instructions
-
Rinse the cauliflower under cold water and pat dry with a kitchen towel. Cut it into medium-sized florets, ensuring they are roughly uniform in size for even cooking.
-
In a bowl, combine the flour, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
-
Dip each cauliflower floret into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are well coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off.
-
Coat the egg-coated cauliflower pieces with the seasoned flour mixture. Make sure each floret is thoroughly coated with the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until hot enough to sizzle when you add the cauliflower.
-
Carefully place the cauliflower florets into the hot oil, ensuring they are not overcrowded in the pan. Fry the cauliflower in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
-
Fry the cauliflower for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
-
Remove the cauliflower from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
-
Garnish the Fried Cauliflower with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
-
Serve the Karnabahar Kizartmasi hot and crispy as a side dish or main course with a side of yogurt or your favorite dipping sauce.
