Cook Time 10 minutes

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Microwave

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cauliflowers cut into florets
  • 2 tbsp besan gram flour/kadala maavu
  • 1.5 tbsp rice flour slighly less than besan used
  • 1/2 tsp turmetic powder
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp oil
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Clean the florets, rinse and place in a microwave safe dish. Cook on high power for 3 minutes. Since the florets are just rinsed, the water present on them is sufficent. No further water is required.
  • Add the besan, rice flour, spices, salt, oil and mix well ensuring all the florets are coated with the mix.
  • Place in a single layer on the airfryer and brush the top with a little oil.
  • Cook it at 180C for 10 minutes shaking the basket once in between.
  • Every airfryer is different - yours might need a minute more. Experiment and find out.

Notes

  • Dont skip the oil and water content - both ensure the vegetable cooks evenly and also provides a roasted effect. 
  • You can easily vary spices but keep it minimal because dry spices can burn in the airfryer. 
  • Optionally, you can add a garnish of coriander or curry leaves to the cooked dish.
