Spicy crispy cauliflower bites.
I tried a version of this in a restaurant but it didn't pack enough punch, so I have adapted a new version!

Steps

1

Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized chunks, a few cm long. Don't worry about cutting them quite small - the smaller pieces will get really crispy in the oven
2

Prepare the paste to dip the cauliflower pieces into by mixing the batter ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
3

Prepare the flour coating for the cauliflower, by mixing the coating ingredients together in a mixing bowl.
4

Prepare the cauliflower pieces for the oven. For each piece, first dip into the batter mixture, shaking off any excess, then roll in the coating mixture before placing onto a baking tray.
5

Put the cauliflower into the oven for 25 minutes. After this time, remove the cauliflower from the oven - and sprinkle some cooking oil over the cauliflower, then return the tray to the oven for a further 5 minutes. This will allow the pieces to get crispy edges. After 5 minutes check the cauliflower - if the edges are not yet crispy to touch you can return them to the oven for a few more minutes until they crisp up.
6

Make the sauce by mixing the sauce ingredients together in a bowl. You can taste the sauce and add extra of a particular ingredient to you taste. (For example I added extra hot chilli sauce).
7

Finally, coat the cauliflower pieces with the sauce, mix well and serve.
