Baked, Crispy, spicy and super easy to make!
I made this as a side dish for spinach curry ( keerai moolagootal in tamil). It was yummy. I always like to have something crispy when I make spinach. So I thought of making Cauliflower gobi 65. But did not want to fry for two reasons that I wanted to have healthy food and second is I did not have oil at home. I was so lazy to buy them so stayed home and made these cauliflower bites. It was just so crispy and perfect that I was wondering why I did not make these for so long.
It is a perfect snack and perfect side dish for rice and curry!
You can replace this cauliflower with any vegetable for this paste. Try aloo( potato), broccoli, mushroom, babycorn. Everything will be extraordinary. Even simple onion would be great when marinated in this paste and fried.
It is kid friendly as its not spicy. You can spice up the recipe more/less by adding/reducing chilli powder.
If you are looking for other cauliflower/gobi recipes: aloo gobi( potato peas masala), cauliflower mint fry and roasted chickpeas cauliflower taco.
