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.
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.
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.

Omg! You make Gobi 65 at home? Wow! I find you so talented, Shalini. How cool is that! Btw – that recipe and simple to try at home. Will give it a chance.
Gee 😀 I love how simple the recipe is. Hence, I try to make it often. P has again brought home a cauliflower today 😛
You should surely try to make some, Parul!
I have heard of Chicken 65, but this is the first I am hearing of Gobi 65!:) Sounds interesting and looks great!
Really? Oh :O
It is similar to Gobi Pakoras. 🙂
This is going to made at home over the weekend. I can tell from the way I am salivating at the sight. A very useful recipe
Yay! Mission accomplished 🙂 Thanks for dropping by, Amrita 🙂
I loved this dish and whenever I’m not lazy, I try and make this 😀
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?
I have cauliflower ready and will try this. I love fried cauliflower florets a lot.
Yum! I have made Gobi manchurian but this one sounds even 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!
