    Cauliflower Pakoda Recipe

    We make this very often at home. It is one of my go to recipe for gobi pakoras. Mom loved fried cauliflower like this or gobi 65 more than manchurian. So whenever we buy cauliflower we used to make this often. Check out other cauliflower recipes here.

    These crisp golden nuggets make a great snack for kids, since these turn out very crisp, kids will love it for sure. Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

    I can remember my childhood days when I start making dishes like this. Because when we were little, amma used to make this deep fried snacks before we come from school or college..

    She makes it the right time so that when we reach home, we will be welcomed with a heady aroma of this bhajji. Amma make this bhajji with potato, raw banana, brinjals or onions. My favorite in that is onion bhajji. Soon I will post that recipe soon..

    This bhajji are best had with some hot Indian chai. This taste equally delicious with some masala chai too(recipe soon). I hope you all love it and off you go to the step by step recipe with pictures.

    How to Make Cauliflower Bajji

    • Bring water to boil and add in salt and turmeric to it. Now add in cauliflower florets in this and cook for 1 mins. Drain and set aside.
    • Now make a batter by mixing gram flour, salt, chilli powder, turmeric powder, baking powder, asafoetida, ginger garlic paste and some water..Make this batter little bit thicker.
    • Now heat oil for deep frying. Dip the cauliflower in this batter and fry it in oil.
