Ingredients:
- Cauliflower- 300 grams
- Gram flour/besan- ¼ cup
- Green chilli- 2 (finely chopped)
- Ginger garlic paste- 1 ¼ tsp.
- Curry leaves- 1 sprig (optional)
- Red chilli powder- 1 tsp.

- Rice flour- ¼ cup
- Turmeric- a generous pinch
- Salt- as per taste
- Water- as per requirement

Procedure:
- Â Soak the cauliflower florets in hot salt water for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes drain the water from the cauliflower and transfer the cauliflower florets to a kitchen towel to soak all the excess water.
- Â Once all the excess water is absorbed, transfer the florets to a big bowl.
- Â Add the ginger garlic paste, green chillies, curry leaves, red chilli powder and the garam masala. Mix everything really well.
- Â Sprinkle the gram flour, the rice flour and the salt. Add some water and mix really well so that all the cauliflower florets are well coated with the flour.
- Â Heat oil in a kadhai.
- Â When the oil is hot enough, turn the flame to medium and fry the cauliflower in it.
- Â Cook the cauliflowers until golden brown and crisp. You can tell when the florets are cooked as the bubbles in the oil will subside.
- Â Remove the cauliflower from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
- Â Serve the gobi pakora with mint coriander chutney and tomato ketchup.
