PROCEDURE::

1) Cut cauliflower into florets then just parboil them .  I cooked them in microwave for 1 minute.

2)Mix maida,corn flour, red chilly powder, ginger-garlic paste and salt with little water.

The consistency should be enough to coat the cauliflower florets. 

3)Now coat the florets with the batter and drop them into the heated oil. Deep fry them until crisp and keep aside to drain the excess oil.

4)Take a pan add little oil , once hot add the garlic, onion, white part of the spring onion and let them turn transparent. 

Add the chilly-tomato sauce, soy sauce,salt and  sugar.

5)Finally add the green part of the spring onion and fried cauliflower.
And toss well.
