Instructions

1. 1. Wash the cauliflower florets thoroughly and pat dry. Set aside.
2. 2. In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, rice flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, asafoetida, dried fenugreek leaves, amchur powder, cumin seeds, yogurt, and salt. Gradually add water to form a smooth, thick batter.
3. 3. Heat the air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease the basket with cooking oil.
4. 4. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated, and place it into the air fryer basket.
