Gradually add soda water until you have a pancake-like batter consistency. 🔥 Heat oil in a pan with high sides until hot. Test readiness by adding a bit of batter, it should sizzle. 🍳 Dip each flower in batter, coating well but shaking off excess. Fry in batches of 6-7 flowers. ♨️ Fry each side for 30-60 seconds, until crispy. Drain on paper towels and repeat frying until all flowers are done. 🧂 Serve with extra salt or tzatziki dip. Enjoy!
