- Place the crisper plate over the combi pan, spray/brush a little oil on it and keep aside.
- Wash the cauliflower and cut it into bite-sized florets.
Our tip Dry the florets well after washing. Water left on them thins the batter, and it slides off as they cook.
- In a bowl prepare the batter by mixing all-purpose flour, corn starch, red Chilli powder, garlic powder and salt. Add water gradually to make a smooth medium-thick batter. Add the cauliflower florets and coat them evenly.
Our tip The batter should coat the back of a spoon and drip off slowly. Any thinner and it runs off the florets and through the crisper plate.
- Spread the batter-coated cauliflower on the crisper plate, keeping the florets separate. Spray a little oil over them. Slide the pan into LEVEL 1.
- Move the SmartSwitch to Cooker mode, select Combi Crisp function, set temperature to 180°C355°F and time to , then start cooking. (the unit will steam/preheat for before cooking).
- Once cooking is complete, remove the pan, toss the crispy cauliflower with the sauce, and serve hot with sides like fried rice or noodles.
Our tip Toss just before serving: the crisp coating softens the longer it sits in the sauce.
