Check weather florets are properly coated or not. 5 Now take a kadai, add 3 cups of oil and bring it boil. Check whether oil reached boiling point by dropping a little batter.

About

Gobi 65 is a starter recipe. It is a southern recipe. It's a dry recipe and not required any sauces. It is a perfect for party snack item. It goes well with pulav. Here, I have prepared this as side dish for daal.
To impart crispyness to the recipe, use 2:1 ratio of  maida and corn flour and rice flour. We use red chilli powder for spicyness. In place of red chilli powder, you can also use whole red chilli paste or green chilli paste.

Serving tip: serve gobi 65 hot. Otherwise it will not be crispy.
