Ingredients
- 250 grams Broccoli florets
- 250 grams Cauliflower florets
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 300 milliliters Sparkling water
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and prepare the vegetables: cut the broccoli and cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Slice the carrots into thin rounds and the bell pepper into thin strips.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
Gradually add the sparkling water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. The batter should be slightly thick and coat a spoon lightly.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). You can test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
Step 5
Dip the prepared vegetables into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.
Step 6
Carefully add a few pieces of battered vegetables into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried vegetables from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining vegetables. Ensure the oil temperature is maintained and adjust as necessary.
Step 9
Once all the vegetables are fried and drained, serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
