Ingredients

• 200 grams Cauliflower florets
• 200 grams Broccoli florets
• 1 large Carrot, sliced
• 1 medium Zucchini, sliced
• 1 Red bell pepper, sliced
• 150 grams Chickpea flour
• 50 grams Rice flour
• 300 ml Water
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 500 ml Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables. Cut cauliflower and broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the carrot and zucchini into thin rounds, and slice the red bell pepper into strips.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, rice flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, turmeric powder, cumin powder, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until you have a smooth, lump-free batter that is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Step 4

Heat oil in a large deep frying pan or pot to 180°C (350°F). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Step 5

Dip the prepared vegetables into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated vegetables into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the fried vegetables using a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat the process with remaining vegetables until all are fried.

Step 10

Serve the dairy-free crispy fried vegetables immediately as a snack or side dish, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce.
