Ingredients
- 15 to 20 even sized florets cauliflower
- 1 cup curd
- 1 tablespoon gram flour / besan flour
- 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 3/4 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
- a pinch chat masala powder
- 1/4 teaspoon jeera powder
- 1/8 teaspoon ajwain
- 1/2 teaspoon kasoori methi
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoon oil
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Clean cauliflower and cut into small even sized florets.
- Parboil cauliflower with salt….It should be soft yet crunchy enough to bite, drain and set aside.
- Dry roast besan flour till slightly browned and nice aroma rises, keep aside.
- Add a cup of curd to a muslin cloth and hang it for 30mins.
- Then add the thick hung curd and mix it with all other ingredients except the veggie.
- Mix well to form a smooth thick batter. Now add the cauliflower pieces and mix well.
- Marinate it for an hour.
- Meanwhile lay silver foil on the wire rack and keep it ready.
- Preheat oven at 200 deg C for 10mins.
- After an hour if you see it would be slightly dried.
- Now arrange the pieces on the wire rack covered with silver foil.
- Bake it for a good 30mins and grill it for 5mins until it turns golden brown.
- Turn over in between for even baking/grilling. Brush with more oil if you want.
- Sprinkle chat masala powder and serve Tandoori Gobi as a starter or as a snack with green chutney.
Notes
- For stove top, you can either deep fry the gobis or opt to shallow fry.
- You can even opt for full grilling but be very careful on the timing as it will burn the veggie easily.
- For tikka style you can use skewers and pin them alternatively with onion and capsicum.
- Keep an eye after 30mins as timing varies from each oven to oven.
- You can directly keep the marinated pieces on the wire rack itself.
- My gobi pieces were little smaller so they tend to fall in between the holes in the wire rack so opted to use silver foil and yes cleaning is easy too.
- Make sure to turn over in between for even baking.
- You can even brush it with oil after getting it out from the oven
- Sprinkle a pinch of chat masala powder while serving for extra zing.
- The more time it marinates, it will absorb the masalas well.
