Gobi chilli also known as
cauliflower chilli is the Indo-Chinese starter dish which is commonly listed in
menu of every restaurants in India. This dish is also one of the famous street
food in cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, Mangalore etc. The preparation method is
more similar to gobi Manchurian but taste wise it differs. It gives more of
spicy and pungent taste. You can serve gobi chilly as a starter to your meal
but I like to have this with fried rice as a side dish.

Preparation :
1)Cut the cauliflower into florets and wash well. Heat 3 cups
of water in a sauce pan and add turmeric powder and salt to it.
2)When it gets a rolling boil add cauliflower florets and
parboils it. Drain the water and keep aside.
3)Prepare for the batter to fry the gobi florets. Take a bowl
and add all the ingredients mentioned under “for the batter” and prepare a
medium thick batter by adding little water.
4)Heat oil in a medium flame for deep frying the gobi florets.
Take each florets, coat well with the batter and leave one by one on to oil. Fry
them until crisp and brown. Similarly fry all the florets and keep aside in a
plate.
5)Heat oil in a pan and add finely chopped garlic and ginger.
Do not brown them. Immediately add slit green chillies and cubed capsicum and
sauté for a minute.
6)Add red chilli powder, red food color, soya sauce, red
chilli sauce and salt. You can add ajinomoto if you like but I haven’t added
here.
7)Now add the fried gobi florets and toss well. Let it be on
flame for two minutes and turn off the stove.
8)Garnish the gobi chilli with finely chopped coriander leaves
or spring onions and serve hot along with fried rice or plain.
