PREPARATION

• Clean the  cauliflower florets and pat them dry. Keep them aside for a while.
• In large bowl combine all the marination ingredients and mix well. Make a thick paste.
• Add all the florets  into the paste and mix well until all the florets are nicely coated with the paste.
• You can directly deep fry them. But I like to marinate it atleast for 30 minutes.
• After  marination is done.
• Heat oil into a pan and deep fry all the florets until they are crispy and golden in colour.
• Drain them from the oil and spread on to the paper towel to absorb excess of oil.
• Once all the florets are fried, now its the time to temper the fried florets.
• Heat two tbsp of oil into a pan  on the medium flame.
• Add sliced onion and fry till  it turns transparent in its texture.
• Then add curry leaves, curd, 1/4 tsp of red chilly powder and salt. Mix well and cook for 2 minute.
• Now add fried florets and mix well. Cook for another 2 minutes and turn off the flame.
• Gobi 65 is ready to serve.Enjoy!!!
