Crispy, golden, and bursting with bold spices, Baked Cauliflower Tempura is a mouthwatering plant-based twist on a comfort-food classic. Tender cauliflower florets are coated in a creamy, spice-laden batter of coconut yoghurt, almond milk, and aromatic Indian spices like garam masala, turmeric, and fenugreek.
