    Gobi 65 is a popular appetizer served in Indian restaurants. P and I love to munch on them and I make it often in my home. The dish is so versatile that we can serve it as an appetizer, a side-dish or a tea-time snack.

    Gobi 65 - Recipe - Restaurant Style - At home

    It is a super-easy super-hit party snack too. If you ask me to be a vegetarian for a day, I would pick Paneer or Cauliflower to substitute my meat or seafood curries. There was a time when my Dad used to try his best to make me have this vegetable. Yeah, yeah. I told you. I was a picky eater. He used to make Gobi Manchurian and say to me that it was Chicken Manchurian. Well, he makes it so yummy that I could never really find any much difference. Oh, I'm missing him and I'm trying to convince him into coming over to my place for a few days. Let's see how that will go.

    Cauliflower 65 Dry - Gobi 65- Recipe - Images

    Gobi 65 is fried cauliflower florets. I haven't added sauces of any kind and this is a dry version. I haven't added any artificial food color in here. All I did was adding Kashmiri chilli powder instead of the regular red chilli powder. This helps in getting that bright orange color with the added benefit of making it less spicy.

      This is a very simple. Is there a spicier version though. 😀 Maybe, I can just add chillies etc. to the batter. Would parboiling cauliflower make it better?

      This is one dish that I love and have never made it at home. Have always had it at parties and restaurants as a starter. Must try it home sometimes!

      I love The Gobhi Pakoras made this way and I never knew they had a fancy name. This is a super-hit starter that never fails to impress 🙂
      You're a rockstar cook Shalzzz!
