Notes

Not a fan of cauliflower? You may substitute eggplant, green beans or even potatoes. The final texture will, of course, differ. Fried eggplant, for instance, won’t be as crisp because of the sheer amount of moisture in the vegetable, but the cooked dish will be deliriously tasty too.
Tofu will work too but it will need more than the usual amount of seasoning so you don’t end up with a bland dish.
