In a bowl combine 3 tbsp maida, 3 tbsp corn flour and salt. Start pouring water and make a thick batter little at a time.
Once everything is combined, pour water and then make the batter thinner, the initial step of making a thick batter, allows making a lump free batter.
Add the florets to the batter and then using your hands start to coat the florets really well.
Once done add about 2 tbsp of corn flour and 1 tbsp maida and continue to coat the florets with the thick batter.
In a large deep pan, heat the oil and fry the cauliflower florets in batches over medium flame, for 6 -8 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Heat a wok over high heat; pour oil in the wok starting from the sides.
