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.

Hi aarthi Akka I am very proud that we r from same native nd I m following all of ur recipes nd getting praising from family all credit goes to u
Good idea to replace curd or lemon with ketchup. Tastes nicely. But after masala tos gets soft. Anything wrong my side?
@Thirunavukkarasu Pno u didn't fry it enough till crispy..or u must have added too much maida.
Nice easy .I just tried it with few pieces of Gobi. It almost tasted like restaurant style recipe
