Chilli Gobi

This is a tasty and easy dry dish with cauliflower. I am not a great fan of cauliflower but I used to like one dish which was available in a local chinese restaurant in our place , that was called dragon fry. Since it was the specialty of that particular restaurant I could not get a recipe to try that out. Today as I was planning to make something different from usual using cauliflower I searched for new recipes and this one attracted me , as it looked just like the Dragon fry, I tired it and it came successful. Thanks to the blog. 

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS:

• Cauliflower - 1 
• Cornstarch - 1/2 cup
• Maida (All purpose flour) - 1/2 cup

How to Prepare: 

Step 1:  Cut the cauliflower into small florets. Soak it in salted warm water for 15 minutes.

Mix together the flour , cornstarch , red chilly powder and little salt without adding water. Roll the florets in the flour so that it gets an even thin coating all over . Heat oil and deep fry the florets till golden brown. Keep it on a paper towel .
