Purple Cauliflower Tempura

This is a light tempura batter.  I use fizzy water as it gives a lighter texture.  Purple cauliflower is a new entrant to my garden and I made proper justice for the space it took the past four months. Serve with soy sauce or fish sauce mixed with a little water and rice wine.

3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup rice flour
1 1/4 cup Fizzy water
pinch salt
1 medium cauliflower cut into florets
small red pepper 
lime wedges to decorate

Sift flours in a medium bowl, add cold fizzy water and whisk until mixture is smooth and reach a thick paste consistency. Season with a touch of salt and let it stand, covered in a cool place for about half an hour.
Heat oil in a deep fryer preferably at 160c.  Carefully dip cauliflower florets and red pepper slices in the batter and fry for about 2 minutes until lightly golden.  Remove from oil and drain.  Serve with lime wedges.
