Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/2 tsp degi mirch https://amzn.to/2AD0zbG
- 1/2 tsp Tandoori Masala https://amzn.to/2AEcaao
- 1/2 cup milk

- 2 tsp schezwan sauce https://amzn.to/351g9Ms
- 2 tsp cooking oil
- 15 gm honey https://amzn.to/2OktUjv
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450* F (232*C) and line a baking tray https://amzn.to/2QCcZM7 with parchment paper (important or the wings will stick).
- To prepare the batter. Mix dry ingredients together, and then add milk and a lesser amount of water to start. Stir with a whisk or fork until well combined.
- You want the batter thick but pourable so it can adhere to the cauliflower - too runny and it won't stick. Add only enough water until you reach the right consistency. Add more flour and seasoning if it becomes too thin.
- Once the oven is preheated, add the cauliflower to the batter to coat. Shake off excess and place on the baking tray. Give each piece 1 inch of room to prevent sogginess. Bake for 25 minutes.
- In the meantime prepare the sauce by whisking together all the ingredients. Add just a bit of water to thin, so it resembles a glaze consistency.
- Once the cauliflower has finished baking,https://amzn.to/2AzwBFN remove from oven and dip/toss in the glaze 1-2 pieces at a time. Shake off excess, then place back on the baking tray and bake for another 15 minutes, or until browned on the edges and the glaze has caramelised.Serve hot. And enjoy!
