Ingredients

4 to 6 appetizer

4

garlic cloves, minced

2

tablespoons red wine vinegar

2

tablespoons tandoori paste

1

medium head of cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pound), cut into bite-size florets (about 4 cups)

1

cup cornstarch
Kosher salt
Tandoori masala (optional)

Special Equipment

A deep-fry thermometer

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk garlic, vinegar, tandoori paste, and 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl to blend. Add cauliflower and toss to fully coat florets. Marinate at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or cover and chill overnight.

    Step 2

    Attach deep-fry thermometer to the side of a large heavy pot. Pour in oil to a depth of 1 inch. Heat oil over medium heat to 350°.

    Step 3

    Place cornstarch in a medium bowl. Working with a few florets at a time, toss cauliflower in cornstarch, then transfer to a coarse-mesh sieve, shaking excess cornstarch back into bowl. Place florets on a rimmed baking sheet.

    Step 4

    Working in batches, fry florets until light golden and crispy, 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season with salt and dust with tandoori masala, if desired.
