Gobi 65 | Cauliflower 65

Winter evenings are made for some hot Winter special snacks with a cup of hot tea/coffee. Isn't it? 😉 So, why not use the king of Winter vegetables "Cauliflower/Gobi"

Cauliflower is one of the king veggie, which can be used to make varieties of dishes. It has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties too.
Apart from the health benefits, being a non-vegetarian, if that one Vegan dish in a restaurant appetizer menu makes you drool and it's simple enough to prepare at home as a party appetizer or snacks, how about giving it a try.

Crispy, Mouthwatering "Gobi 65" from Panda's Kitchen in today's recipe. Winter is all about Cauliflower and every  cauliflower I buy, no matter what dish I prepare, using few florets, I always make this one recipe without fail.

Ingredients :

• Around 10-12 Florets of Cauliflower 
• 1/2 cup Maida  
• 2 tbsp Besan 
• 1/4 cup Corn Flour/Rice Flour 
• 1 tbsp Ginger Garlic Paste 
• Salt 
• 1 tsp Red Chilly Powder 
• 1/2 tsp Pepper Powder 
• 1/2 tsp Garam Masala Powder 
• 1/2 tsp Chicken Kabab Powder(optional) 
• 2 tbsp Curd 
• 1 tbsp Tomato Ketchup 
• 1 tbsp Chilli Sauce 
• 2 tsp Lime Juice 
• A pinch of Baking Soda 
• 3-4 tbsp water (as needed to make the batter) 
• Oil for Frying

Recipe Details :

✓ Cut Cauliflower florets into medium size and keep them dipped in Turmeric water for around 5 mins so that they get clean.

 ✓ Now take the florets from water and add into boiled water with a tsp of salt. Keep in hot water for around 2-3 mins. Make sure not to over boil to get the cauliflower taste intact.

✓ Strain water and allow to cool down.  

✓ Add all the above ingredients (except oil) to a plate and mix well to make a semi-thick batter. If needed, add a little water.  

✓ Add the Cauliflower florets to this batter and coat nicely.

✓ Meanwhile heat oil in a kadai. Once the oil is hot, fry the cauliflower florets for around 3-4 mins until they turn nice golden brown in color.

✓ Take them out in a kitchen tissue to get the oil absorbed.

✓ Sprinkle a little black salt all over. Serve hot along with ketchup and a cup of hot tea.
