gobi 65 recipe

I got this recipe from Aval vikatan’s “ 30 Restaurant style recipes” supplementary. Before i got this book, i used to try Chef.Damodaran’s recipe which is also similar to this.This recipe has dry kasoori methi leaves in addition.I have tried this several times and it comes out super crispy , tasty with nice flavour. We love it a lot. I usually make in weekends with veg pulao or biryani.Sometimes , i make it for my daughter after she comes from school.This is one of her favourite snacks.Red heart..U can prepare this recipe well in advance for parties or get together & fry it when required.The more time the cauliflower marinates , the tastier it would be.You can try without marination as well.. Please go through the Notes section for do’s & dont’s..Lets see how to make crispy Gobi 65 recipe with step by step photos !

Gobi 65 with onions


INGREDIENTS
1 cup - 250ml
  • Gobi/Cauliflower – medium size flower (20 florets)
  • All purpose flour / Maida – 1/2 cup
  • Corn flour – 1/2 cup OR rice flour + corn flour - 1/4 cup each
  • Red color powder – 1/4 tsp
  • Red chilli powder or green chilli paste – 2 tsp
  • Ginger – garlic paste – 1.5 tsp
  • Garam masala powder – 1 tsp
  • Crushed fennel seeds -  1 tsp
  • Lime juice – Few drops
  • Dry Kasoori methi leaves – 1.5 tsp (crushed )
  • Salt & water – As needed
  • Cooking oil – To deep fry

METHOD
  • Remove the florets from the cauliflower & par boil it for 5 minutes adding salt..(turmeric powder is optional)
  • When the water roll boils , switch off the flame. Leave it for 3 minutes and drain the hot water completely & wash it in cold water immediately to avoid over cooking of cauliflower.Drain all the water completely.

  • Now in a wide bowl ,add all the powders ,crushed spices & salt ,lime juice mix well .Add water carefully to make bajji batter consistency.The batter should fall like a ribbon.Now put the florets,mix well & marinate for 2-3 hours.Cauliflower should be well coated with flour..( watery batter absorbs more oil). If you don't have enough time, you can fry it instantly without marination.

Super crispy gobi 65 is ready !! Enjoy eating hot with tomato sauce !!

NOTES
  • It will stay crispy for 30 minutes..But for best taste , u should eat it hot hot !!
  • While u make the batter add less water & bring to bajji batter consistency. If u add more water , it may absorb more oil..Adding less water & more flour makes it hard.. Please be careful while adding water.Approximately it takes 3/4 to 1 cup of water i guess.No problem if u add more water , add some more flour to bring the right consistency
  • If u feel adding maida is unhealthy , add rice flour instead of maida.Or u can try only with corn flour..
  • Adding food color is optional .But it gives a nice look to the fries like we get in restaurants..Winking smile
