Cauliflower malli fry, Cauliflower marinated in coriander paste and deep-fried in oil. Cauliflower malli fry recipe with full video and step-by-step pictures.
Gobi | Cauliflower is a popular winter vegetable. It is one of my most favorite vegetables too. Usually, we make curry as an accompaniment for South Indian gravies. And we also make cauliflower sabzi to pair with Roti, naan, and pulaos.
I have posted many recipes using Gobi | cauliflower in Jeyashris kitchen. I tried this at home recently and it was a super hit. The flavour of coriander leaves elevates the taste to a different level. You can pair this with any variety rice, sambar, or rasam rice too. This can be served as a tea-time snack or party starter too.
