Gobi 65 is Aj’s most favourite in this whole universe.Yeah,that’s how he says. I usually make
crispy cauliflowers with simply sambar powder and corn flour.It’s best accompaniment as varuval for our south Indian meals. But if he wants as a snack for eating alone, then I have to make this way. I have adapted the recipe from
Pavi’s space, but tweaked a bit according to my convenience and taste. I must thank her for sharing the recipe, both Aj & Vj loves this way. For Aj, I cook cauliflower at least twice a week as curry,korma or in biryani. May be because of that I got bored of this veggie and I wont even touch this veggie

.
Ingredients
| Cauliflower | 1 medium |
| Corn flour | 4 tblsp,heaped |
| Thick curd | 2 tblsp |
| Cooking soda or Baking powder | a pinch |
| Salt | As needed |
| Red chilli powder | 1 – 2 tsp |
| Ginger garlic paste | 1/2 tsp |
| Curry leaves | A sprig |
Method
1. Separate the cauliflower into small florets, boil water with salt and keep the florets inside this water covered until it is parboiled. Drain water completely.
2. Mix curd,corn flour,cooking soda,salt,red chilli powder and ginger garlic paste. Heat kadai with oil enough to deep fry.
3. Dip and deep fry the cauliflower florets untill golden brown and crisp in hot oil in medium flame. Add the curry leaves a sprig per batch. Drain in paper towel and enjoy hot!
|
Serve with lemon wedges and chaat masala sprinkled over. Enjoy hot!
Notes
- Parboiling is optional but it ensures the outer layer coats well,otherwise while deep frying the cauliflower and outer layer may separate.
- I don’t add ginger garlic paste some times, still we love it.
- Do not add cooking soda more.

ReplyDeleteCrispy... what a perfect 65 !! for a wintery evening...
ReplyDeleteWinter special, Crispy Gobi looks awesome. The picks are cute..raji!!
ReplyDeleteParboiling is a nice tip. I always wondered why my coating is not even , this might be the reason behind it
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing :)
Rak's.. Tried this today & came out very well.. Thanks for the receipe.. :)
ReplyDeleteGobi 65 is always a disaster for me. Never turns out crispy; once the flour separated in oil and all i had was oily gobi left out.. please suggest.
ReplyDeleteParboiling cauliflower will be the solution for your problem. The 3/4th or fully cooked cauliflower holds the flours well than raw...do try it and let me know
ReplyDeleteFor years I had been trying to make decent Gobi 65 but to no avail. Frustratingly the batter and veggie would always separate leaving me fuming and ordering from out while wondering about the quality of oil, etc.
ReplyDeleteBut tried this recipe yesterday and Lo Behold...the batter actually stuck on!!! Thanks a ton for sharing a great recipe!!!
