Combine batter ingredients in a large bowl and mix with a fork until there are no lumps. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large dutch oven over medium high heat. You want your oil to be shimmering and hot when holding your hand above the oil, but not smoking.
Chop cauliflower into florets, wash and dry thoroughly with paper towel. Add to batter and mix to coat evenly. Prepare paper towel lined plate for later.
When oil is hot enough (Test by adding a dollop of batter; it should rapidly begin bubbling, but if it gets dark in colour right away your oil is too hot) add the battered cauliflower, 4-5 at a time depending on the size. They will stick if they touch, so be sure that they don't.
Fry for around 5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Flip as needed. Drain on the paper towel lined plate and salt immediately while still hot. Repeat until all cauliflower are fried. Serve right away.
