Restaurant style gobi 65 recipe a popular snack or starter made with cauliflower.Gobi 65 recipe with step by step pictures and video.Gobi 65 or cauliflower 65 is a spicy snack or starter popular in many restaurants.

Most kids love gobi 65 and that will be the most wanted starter while dining at restaurants.Both mittu and gugu are fond of gobi 65 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, color the 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.

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 🙂

Gobi 65 ingredients:

The ingredients are pretty simple which will be readily available in most of our pantries.The measurements ,batter consistency and deep frying method are the most important which makes this dish perfect just like in restaurants.

• 1/8 cup rice flour
• 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
• 2 tbsp curd
• 1 tbsp kashmiri chilli powder
• 1 tsp garam masala powder
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp hot oil

Instructions

• Clean cauliflower,cut into small florets, keep immersed in warm water to remove worms if any.Boil water add turmeric powder,salt to it.Switch off add cleaned cauliflower florets to this hot water keep covered and let it sit for 5 mins.
• Drain water completely and set aside.
• To a mixing bowl add all the ingredients listed under 'for the batter' mix it well.
• Add water little by little to form a thick flowing smooth batter without any lumps.
• Add cauliflower, mix it well.Heat oil in a kadai - keep in medium flame - add the florets in batches.
• Flip over and fry.Deep fry until golden brown on both the sides.Repeat to finish.Finally switch off add curry leaves,green chillies fry until crisp and garnish with it
• Serve with onion rings,chat masala powder sprinkled.

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.
