Slice cauliflower into thick slices. Cook in a saucepan of boiling water for 8 minutes or until just tender. Drain.
Step 2
Whisk flour with baking powder. Make a well in the centre and add egg. Gradually add water, whisking to form a smooth batter. Add grated cheese and parsley.

Dip cauliflower into batter, shaking off excess.
