Method

1

To make the mayonnaise, mix the egg, mustard and lime juice and a pinch of salt together with a whisk

2

Slowly drizzle in the vegetable oil a drop at a time, whisking all the time, until a thick, pale yellow emulsion forms. Once the oil and egg yolks begin to emulsify, you can add the oil slightly faster

  • 120ml of vegetable oil
3

Once all the vegetable oil has been incorporated, add the olive oil in a steady stream, whisking constantly. Taste, and adjust seasoning as needed, then stir in fermented hot sauce to taste and set aside

  • 120ml of extra virgin olive oil
  • fermented chilli sauce to taste, see above
4

Cook the cauliflower florets and leaves for 3 minutes in boiling salted water, then drain and rinse under cold water

5

Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl and mix in the curry powder. Make a well in the centre and add the eggs, then mix well. Add the florets and leaves and mix to coat

6

Heat oil for deep-frying to a temperature of 180°C. Deep fry the leaves and florets for a couple of minutes, or until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper
