Gobi Fry

Yet another easy peasy recipe. Actually I was planning on making something else and hence fried the gobi (cauliflower) but somehow time did not permit and I was left with fried gobi. So instead of waiting to make my originally thought of dish I took a detour and this quick and simple yet amazingly tasty recipe out of the fried gobi sitting on my kitchen counter. I admit it was a bit time taking (due the deep frying of the gobi) but the taste at the end was too delicious that on demand I had to make it the very next week again!!


All that I used :
(Serves 6)
  • Cauliflower - 1 big
  • Onion - 2-3 medium sized
  • Green chilly - 2-3
  • Oil - for deep frying
  • Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
  • Tawa fry masala powder - 1 Tbsp
  • Salt - to taste

How I made it :
  • Cut the cauliflower into small to medium sized pieces.
  • Wash and clean those cut cauliflower pieces nicely. Let it dry on its own for some time and let all the water drain out.
  • Heat oil in a deep pan for frying. By now the cauliflower must have dried also.
  • Deep fry the cauliflower in the hot oil, in batches, keeping the heat on medium to high.
  • Set aside all the fried gobi on a flat plate.
  • Once all the gobi has been deep fried, take another wok / kadhai and heat it.
  • Drain out the oil from the plate where you put the fried gobi onto the wok you just put on stove.
  • Slice the onion into thin long pieces. Chop the green chilly.
  • Once the oil is warm add the cut onions and the green chilly and fry them for 3-5 minutes on medium-high heat. The onion needs to be crunchy.
  •  Add in the fried gobi and toss it well.
  • Now add turmeric powder, the vegetable tawa fry masala powder and salt to taste.
  • Mix well. We need not cook the gobi for long  on the wok as we want the pieces to be intact and crunchy.
  • So about five minutes in total for the gobi on the wok on medium-high heat and we are done with this delicious dish. This five minutes will let the masala powder sink into the gobi pieces.

We ate with garma-garam (hot) phulka (Indian wheat bread)..And everyone just loved it!!! 

Well you could serve it as a starter dish too...

Note:
  • I use the Tawa Fry Masala made by MDH company.
