Ingredients

Prepping the Cauliflower

  • 2 cups Cauliflower cut into big florets
  • 1 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
  • 3/4 teaspoons Garam Masala
  • Salt to taste

For the Batter

  • 1 cup Besan / Gram Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Red Chili Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Carom Seeds
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon Cooking Soda

Instructions

Prepping the Cauliflower

  • Clean the cauliflower and cut it into a little bigger size. Wash the florets and soak in hot water for 5 minutes.
  • Drain well and remove to a bowl. Now sprinkle red chili powder, garam masala, and salt, mix well. Keep aside for 15 minutes.

Making the Pakoras

  • Take besan along with other ingredients in a bowl and make a thick batter by adding water slowly.
  • When everything is ready, heat oil.
  • When the oil is hot enough, drop a few cauliflower florets into the prepared batter, coat them well.
  • Drop these into the hot oil and make sure it gets cooked on all sides.
  • You can deep fry about 4 to 5 at a home depending on how much oil you have used.
  • When the gobi is fried to the almost done stage, drain them to a bowl.
  • Continue with the entire batch.

For the second frying

  • With a help of a ladle, press the fritters to make them flat.
  • When you are done with all, put them back into the hot oil and fry them again until crisp and golden.
  • Drain and serve with grated radish and spicy chutney.

Notes

Most street vendors use mustard oil, which gave them a unique flavor. However, we can use refined oil as well.
