SPICY GOBI BITES

 

  This recipe is from my kitchen and my own creation. I wanted to make a simple cauliflower recipe which is spicy and tasty, but do not contain any sauce and that?s how attempted this dish.  This can be had as an appetizer or a snack or even had as a side dish for naan or roti. I fried the marinated gobi and tossed it in a spicy thick gravy. The dish turned out awesome. If any of your family members do not like the soy sauce or the tomato sauce then this can be a perfect alternative to gobi manchuria. Try this and I am sure it won?t let you down. There is no rule to follow the same recipe, try adding your own ingredients to suit your taste.

Now heat oil in a pan and deep fry the gobi till deep brown and crisp.

Cube the onion and tomato and grind to a paste. In another pan add 2 Table spoons of oil and add the grind onion and tomato paste. Fry till the raw flavor is removed, and the paste leaves the oil and turns golden brown. Now add a pinch of salt, julienned veggies, chilies, ginger. Fry for another minute (the veggies should remain crisp) and add the fried gobi. Toss till all the gobi gets the coating of the gravy. Now remove into a serving dish and top with some raw veggies.
