Hubby loves gobi 65 and it is his constant order in restaurants for starters. Though I am not a starter person I have it once in a while. For low fat version of gobi 65 check the grilled gobi 65 post. I like gobi manchurian more than gobi 65 :)

Gobi 65 Recipe - Ingredients
Cauliflower - 1 medium (comes to 1 cup after cutting into small bite size pieces)

• Corn flour - 3 tbsp
• Thick curd - 2 tbsp
• Red color - a pinch (optional)
• Garam masala powder - 1/2 tsp
• Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
• Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
• Curry leaves - few
• Raw Onion Slices - 2 to 3
• Salt - as required
• Oil - to deep fry

Method:

1.Cut cauliflower into small bite sized pieces. Allow it to boil in water with little salt.Make sure to only to half cook cauliflower(it should be firm enough to bite). Drain water completely and set aside.In a mixing bowl, add cornflour, curd, ginger garlic paste, salt, red chilli powder, garam masala powder and mix well until a semi runny paste is formed( sprinkle little water if needed.)

2.Add the cooked cauliflower florets and marinate it for 15-30 mins until the gobis are coated well with the batter.Heat oil in a kadai, deep fry the gobis until crisp and golden brown. Finally add curry leaves and fry until crisp.

Garnish gobi 65 with curry leaves and raw onions and serve hot. You can even sprinkle little amchur / chat masala powder while serving for an extra punch :)

My Notes:

• You can also fry greenchillies with curry leaves and garnish it.
• Make sure the batter is slightly pastey with running consistency else it will not stick to the cauliflower.
• You can even fry cauliflower without cooking but I prefer boiling and then deep frying.

I am sure kids will love this as its crispy and yummy. Its a easy to cook starter especially for guests lunch or dinner. We make gobi manchurian more often than this. I made gobi 65 the same way amma makes chicken 65.
