    Gobi 65 is a delicious, flavor-filled starter fry dish made of Cauliflower and originated from the Indian subcontinent. It is widely served in most of the restaurants and also by the street food vendors in the region. The traditional recipe is made with chicken called chicken 65 marinated with flour, garam masala, ginger garlic paste, herbs, and then deep-fried.

    The Gobi 65 given below is similar to the original recipe but with cauliflower as the main ingredient. This is a crispy, crunchy, tasty, and lip-smacking appetizer that can be served as an entrée or side dish for a meal or for tea time.

    About this Gobi 65

    • The recipe given here is a homestyle gobi 65 and no sauces and ketchup are used here. If you would like to try the restaurant-style 65 recipes, then soy and chili sauce can be included while marinating and tempering
    • Chopping the cauliflower florets into small to medium size gives crispy and crunchy 65 compared to large-sized florets
    • Soaking the florets in hot water and blanching them prevents them from yellowing or browning and developing a bitter flavor due to an overabundance of sun exposure
    • Marinating and resting them for about 15 minutes gives the best flavor of the seasonings and spices
    • Frying the florets in medium heat delivers evenly cooked and crispy cauliflower 65
    • This dish can be either deep-fried or pan-fried, both give the same results
    • I have not tempered the dish after it is deep-fried. It can also be tempered with onion, cumin, ginger, and garlic
    • This dish is one of the best kids-friendly snack to serve your little ones.And it is best accompanied by a cup of tea or coffee or just as a starter for any meal
