Wash the cauliflower in salt water after breaking it apart in florets and set aside.
Make a marinade of ginger, garlic, cilantro, 1/2 of the green chilies, soy sauce, vinegar, red chilli sauce, green chilli paste and salt. Mix this marinade thoroughly with cauliflower and set aside for 1 hr ( you may use spoons/ spatulas in mixing it well to avoid burning your fingers with the spicy marinade! ) Before deep frying the cauliflower, add the corn flour, all purpose flour, green chillies, red pepper flakes, curry leaves, and ajinomoto*(optional) . Do check the consistency of spices and sauces and add more if required. Deep fry in warm oil.
This fried cauliflowers are sometimes further sautéed in a Manchurian sauce of similar ingredients as the marinade. But, if you prefer crispy fritters, skip this step.
