Gobi 65 or Crispy Cauliflower fry is a popular party snack. It is also very easy to make. Gobi 65
is one among the many varieties of 65 recipes which is quite popular in many restaurants in South
India. Having relished this in parties and hotels several times, I was craving to try this at home Just
when I was scouting for fail-proof recipe to get crispy cauliflower fries, I bumped into a cookbook.
This recipe is very simple and the cauliflower stayed crispier unlike my earlier attempts.
I have updated the recipe with video. Check out my Tandoori Gobi recipe and Cauliflower Pakoda which are equally simple and lip-smacking.

Video of how to make Gobi 65
Method:
-
- Wash and clean the cauliflower florets. I generally do not blach the cauliflowers which we get here ad it will get mashed while cooking. I wash it twice in hot water.
- You can dip this cauliflower in hot water for 2 minutes and pat dry them completely.
- If the yogurt is not thick put this in a tea strainer and keep it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Mix the yogurt, fennel powder, red chilli powder and salt together into a paste. Add food colour,if adding, at this stage.
- Add this masala paste to the cauliflower florets and mix well for even coating. Add this just before frying. Sprinkle the rice flour to this .
- Mix well after adding rice flour. Heat the oil and when it is hot, put the flame to medium and fry in batches.
- Never over crowd the pan.
- Fry till golden brown and drain excess oil in a kitchen towel.
- fry little curry leaves in the last and mix with this.
- Always fry this mixture immediately. Else it will turn soggy. Even if you want to make it later, make the yogurt mixture ready and just mix the rest of the ingredients before and fry.
Notes:
- Fennel seed powder can be replaced with garam masala too.
- Ginger garlic paste can also be added.
- Chaat masala can also be added.

Super crispy…. Love it !
awesome click!!!!Looks super crispy on picture itself!!
Is there any way to avoid deep frying…?
The pictures are tempting ….. And thank u for sharing such a simple drool worthy recipe
Super
Hi jeya I tried the recipe as stated above however whilst frying the cauliflower the crispy layer seperated from the florets. As a result I had plain florets and crispy batter. Please let me know if I have done something incorrect. Thanks, Archana
Hi, the batter must be loose , so the ingredients disintegrated while frying. Loose yogurt may be the reason. If the yogurt is not thick just keep in a tea strainer for 10 minutes and keep a vessel below. the yogurt will become thick
I made it today wow came out delicious
Wow yummmmmy I never knew it will come good in yogurt… It came very crispy…thanks for your receipe
Hi,doesn't taste good.. It tasted bitter.
It may be the nature of the vegetable.
Hi jeyashri.. I followed this receipe for the first tym using ginger garlic paste and yogurt. I was very suspicious as how it's gonna turn out. I must say it was amazing ?
Yes jeyashri. It was very yummy and my 5 year old son enjoyed it as Eve snack. Thanks for the recipe. Delicious!
Jeyashri ji, Gayathri here from Tatvabodha group. tried this recipe today as my son wanted this desperately. he enjoyed it very much. it didnt come out as neat as yours. I think I added more curd than required.But he liked the taste very much.Thanks to you.
It's very colorful and tempting, and my anytime favorite. Thank you.
Tried this recipe today. Really quick and yummy.
can we add corn flour instead of rice flour
Yes you can but rice flour gives more crispiness to the gobi 65
