About Chilli Gobi
Chilli gobi is popular in restaurants and street side shops too.Though there a lot of chilli recipes the most wanted and popular ones are chilli gobi and chilli paneer .
Chilli Gobi is generally made dry as in restaurants. But you can make a slightly saucey version as per your preference.
Chilli Gobi and Gobi Manchurian is often confused but both are different in taste and texture. I prefer chilli gobi dry and for manchurian a bit saucey which is perfect as a starter or as a sidedish.
Chilli Gobi Ingredients
- Cauliflower (Gobi): A medium sized flower will be good for 2 people. Blanching Cauliflower:To warm water add rock salt and add cauliflower florets to it. Set aside for 10 mins and remove the cauliflower.This is to ensure there are no worms.Rinse it well,drain and cauliflower is ready for cooking.
- Flour : Maida and cornflour is added to coat gobi to deep fry until crisp.
- Sauces: I have added Soya Sauce and Tomato Sauce for making Chilli Gobi. You can add vinegar, hot sauce, garlic sauce and skip any of the sauce based on your preferences.
- Spring Onion, Garlic: Spring Onion adds to the taste & flavour of Chilli Gobi.
