Ingredients
  

For the Cauliflower:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp white butter softened (or use oil for vegan)
  • 1/4 cup sparkling water
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 small–medium cauliflower cut into florets
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • Oil for frying

For the Dynamite Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce

Instructions
 

  • Wash and cut the cauliflower into small florets. Pat dry thoroughly.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, paprika, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and softened butter.
  • Gradually whisk in the sparkling water and regular water until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms.
  • Spread the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow tray.
  • Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, letting any excess drip off.
  • Roll the coated floret in panko breadcrumbs until evenly covered.
  • Place on a plate or tray.
  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat (enough to shallow fry).
  • Fry the coated florets in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sweet chilli sauce until smooth.
  • Drizzle the dynamite sauce over the fried cauliflower bites, or serve on the side for dipping.
  • Garnish with chopped spring onions or sesame seeds if desired.
