    Memories

    Most kids love gobi 65 and that will be the most wanted starter while dining at restaurants. Both mittu and gugu are fond of it too but I am always reluctant to buy cauliflower based dishes at hotels doubting whether they clean it properly or not so we always stick with paneer 65. Attimes I make gobi 65 at home and we enjoy it.Do try this restaurant style gobi 65 and enjoy.

    The first time I saw gobi 65 was at a restaurant named Sugam hotels in R.S.Puram here in Coimbatore. Guess I was in my 4th std and those days dining at restaurants happens only once in a blue moon. On one such day just after ordering the dishes amma asked appa what was that red thing with toothpicks served in the next table…appa asked the server what was that and he said it was Gobi 65 and we ordered it too. More than the taste, the color & toothpicks standing erect on each gobi was the main attraction for me .As a kid I enjoyed pricking each gobi with a toothpick n having it. So while planning for this restaurant style gobi 65 recipe itself I knew am going to keep toothpicks as a main prop and while clicking all these fond memories were flashing by.

    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.

    FAQs

    1.What is Gobi 65?

    Gobi 65 is a popular crispy fried snack or starter made with cauliflower.

    2.Why it is called Gobi 65?

    I have always had this doubt and on googling found that  a hotelier first made chicken 65  with 65 chillies for eack kg of chicken as ingredients measure and called it so, following it gobi 65, paneer 65 was orginated and named so I guess. When I was in my teens I thought 65 ingredients were used to make gobi 65 haha.

    3.How do you cook raw cauliflower?

    First cut the cauliflower from the central stem then cut into small florets.Rinse it well then add in warm water with rock salt to remove any worms if any.Drain water and cauliflower is ready to cook.

    4.Can Gobi 65 be baked?

    Yes you can bake gobi 65 but sure the flavour,taste and texture wouldn’t be the same as deep fried. So I strongly recommend gobi 65 to be deep fried. If you are baking parboil cauliflower then proceed with the steps.For baking preheat at 200deg C then spread the coated gobi florets on a tray with aluminium foil. Bake at 200 deg C for 10-15 mins or until  the edges turn crisp and golden.
