Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 50 grams desiccated coconut
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams cornstarch
- 150 milliliters water
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets, and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Gradually add water to the dry mixture, whisking continuously until a smooth, lump-free batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 4
Pour the desiccated coconut into a shallow dish.
Step 5
Dip each broccoli floret into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated, then roll it in the desiccated coconut to cover thoroughly.
Step 6
In a large frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking (around 180°C or 350°F).
Step 7
Carefully place the coated broccoli florets in the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry each batch for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried broccoli from the oil, and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 9
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Nut-Free Fried Broccoli with Desiccated Coconut.
