Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut, 1 tablespoon of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of coconut milk and 1 tablespoon of lime juice until well combined.
Dip each cauliflower floret into the coconut milk mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Arrange the coated cauliflower bites in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Spray the bites lightly with cooking spray for extra crispiness. Air fry the cauliflower at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
While the cauliflower is cooking, prepare the mango-lime drizzle by blending 1 ripe mango, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a blender until smooth.
Once the cauliflower is golden brown and crispy, remove it from the air fryer and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Drizzle the mango-lime sauce over the cauliflower bites and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges before serving.
