water (or

lemon juice (or white vinegar

water (or as needed)

oil (or as needed)

mustard seeds

onions (or spring onion whites

garlic garlic

ginger (or 1 inch ginger)

green chilies (- slit)

coriander leaves

sugar

Chop the cauliflower in small pieces. Rinse them very well and keep in a bowl.

Now add enough hot water so that all the florets are covered. Cover and blanch the florets for 15 to 20 minutes.

In a small bowl, add ¼ cup warm or hot  water and soak 4 dry red chilies in it for 15 minutes.

In a small grinder jar or chutney grinder, add 1.5 tsp chopped garlic and 1.5 tsp roughly chopped ginger.

Add the soaked red chilies.

Add 1 to 2 tablespoon water or as needed and grind to a smooth paste. Set aside.

Preparation

Drain the cauliflower florets of all the water very well and take them in a mixing bowl or pan.

Add the red paste. Mix very well.

Then add gram flour, rice flour and corn starch.

Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala powder and coriander powder.

Also add ½ to 1 tsp lemon juice and ⅓ cup water.

Next add salt. Combine and mix everything very well. The batter should coat the cauliflower pieces and must not be runny or thin.

If the mixture looks dry, doughy, sprinkle a few tablespoons of water and mix. If the batter drips from the florets or is runny or thin, add a few tablespoons of gram flour or chickpea flour.

Cover and allow to marinate for 20 to 30 minutes.

Making Marination

Heat oil in a kadai (wok) or a frying pan. When the oil becomes medium hot, use a spoon to carefully place the cauliflower florets in the hot oil. Ensure that you do not overcrowd the pan, so you will have fry in batches.

The oil should be medium hot at about 350 to 356 degrees Fahrenheit (175 to 180 degrees Celsius).

Fry one side and when it becomes crisp, turn over with a slotted spoon and fry the other side.

Fry them evenly, until they are golden and crisp turning them as needed. Fry them in batches.

With a slotted spoon, remove the fried cauliflower florets and place them on kitchen paper towels to absorb extra oil. Work in batches this way.

Frying Marinated Cauliflower

Now remove the extra oil from the kadai and keep 2 teaspoon oil in it or add fresh 2 teaspoon oil in another pan. Add ½ teaspoon mustard seeds and crackle them. Then add 2 to 3 dry red chilies. Fry until the dry red chilies change color and become a darker shade of red.

Next add ¼ cup chopped onions, 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger and 5 to 6 curry leaves.

Stir and sauté until the onions turn translucent and are softened.

Then add one to pinches of salt or add as per taste. You can also add a pinch or two of sugar. Mix well.

Add the fried cauliflower florets. Switch off the heat.

Toss and stir the whole mixture. Add chopped coriander leaves.

Notes
• Always deep fry in medium flame else the gobis will drink more oil and will become soggy.
• Make the batter slightly thick not too runny not too thick so that it coats the gobi florets well.
• Adding kashmiri red chilli powder gives it a nice red color without adding any food color and is less spicy too.
• Adding baking soda makes gobi a bit soft to bite else it will become hard and crisp so I suggest to add it.
• No need for resting time, but you can make the marinade well head and refrigerate it incase if you are making for any party.Deep fry only at serving time.
• You can replace maida with wheat flour which is what I have done.
• Make sure to cut into small florets so that the marinade blends well.
