Gobi Dry

Hi all, whenever we go out for dinner in Chennai, i will always order Gobi 65 and mushroom soup,these two are my fav dishes. I took some hints from cookery book and my friend, mixed both and tried in my own style :)). Few of my friends liked this so i thought of sharing with everyone.



Ingredients:

1 full Bunch of Cauliflower
2 tsp Red chilli Powder( adjust according to taste)
11/2 cup Rice flour
1 cup of Besan flour
1 cup of Plain flour
1/2 tsp Garlic paste
1/2 tsp Ginger paste
3/4 tsp garam masala
pinch of turmeric powder
Salt to taste

Method:

1. Add a tsp of turmeric power in water and boil. Chop the cauliflower and leave it boil.
2. Don't over cook the cauliflower. Just for few minutes, check with spoon very often.
3. Drain the water and keep aside. Allow it to cool for some time. At least for 30 mins.
4. Prepare the batter in big pan, add all flour, masalas with water.  It should be very very thick paste.
5. Add cauliflower to that and mix gently. Don't mash. If it is very thick then add little water.
6. Keep it in fridge for few hours 4-5 hours.
    (bring it to room temperature before deep frying)
7. Deep fry the cauliflower in medium flame.
8. Serve it with tomato sauce.
