Gobi 65 is one of my all time favorite..I make it quite often, this is my mom's favorite one too. I have quite a few ways of making this, you can check all of them here. Fried cauliflower is quite a tasty dish and it goes as a perfect appetizer with soups.
This method is a kind of restaurant style gobi 65. I added some bellpeppers, garlic in these and tossed with the fried gobi to make it more tasty and flavourful. You can even add a drop of soya sauce to the veggies to make it more tasty.

Good idea to replace curd or lemon with ketchup. Tastes nicely. But after masala tos gets soft. Anything wrong my side?
Aarthi
@Thirunavukkarasu Pno u didn't fry it enough till crispy..or u must have added too much maida.
