Ingredients
- 15 to 20 even sized florets cauliflower
- 1 cup curd
- 1 tablespoon gram flour / besan flour
- 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ¾ teaspoon red chilli powder
- ½ teaspoon coriander powder
- ½ teaspoon garam masala powder
- 1 pinch chat masala powder
- ¼ teaspoon jeera powder
- ⅛ teaspoon ajwain
- ½ teaspoon kasoori methi
- ½ 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 30 minutes.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 10 minutes.
- 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 it 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 30 minutes as timing varies from each oven to oven.
You can directly keep the marinated pieces on the wirerack itself. My gobi pieces were little smaller so they tend to fall in between the holes in the wirerack 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.
