  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • ¾ tsp chilli powder (as needed)
  • ½ tsp Kashmiri chilli powder (for color)
  • ¾ tsp salt (as needed)
  • 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
  • ¼ cup water (as needed)
  • ½ lemon
  • Oil to deep fry

Instructions
 

Preparation:

  • Cut the florets of the cauliflower into medium bite-sized pieces.
  • Wash the pieces thoroughly to remove the chemical sediments. If necessary keep the cauliflower pieces in warm salted water for few minutes before cooking.

Recipe:

  • Take cleaned cauliflower in a cooking pan and add a quarter cup of water.
  • Add some salt and turmeric powder, mix well.
  • Cover with a lid and cook in medium heat for only just five minutes.
  • In five minutes, the cauliflower will be 3/4 the cooked.
  • Switch off and strain the excess water if any and keep aside.

How to make the 65 batter masala:

  • In another mixing bowl, add all-purpose flour.
  • Also some rice flour and corn starch flour.
  • Add chilli powder and some Kashmiri chilli powder (optional-for color).
  • Also, add salt and some crushed ginger garlic paste.
  • Add a few lemon drops and mix all the ingredients well.
  • Gradually add water(do not pour - add in tbsp) and combine the items.
  • Make a thick masala paste with a consistency thicker than bajji batter.
  • Now add the half boiled cauliflower pieces without water.
  • Mix the pieces properly to make the masala stick well each floret.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil to deep-frying temperature. You can check with one piece and if it comes up without burning that is the right temperature.
  • Add the marinated pieces separately one by one and deep fry.
  • Keep the heat in medium setting and fry all the pieces without crowding.
  • Stir in between and fry until crispy gold brown color.
  • Drain the pieces from the oil and keep them in kitchen tissue to remove the excess oil if any.
  • Serve cauliflower 65 hot with crispy fried curry leaves.

Notes

Tips:
1) Plain flour is to act as the binding agent and rice flour plus corn starch for the crispness of gobi65
2) If you want to pack these cauliflower 65, please allow them to cool down completely before boxing as they will sweat out and become soggy.
