    Baked gobi 65 recipe, Indian style baked cauliflower

    Baked gobi 65, an Indian style baked cauliflower. Learn how to make baked gobi 65 with step by step pictures.

    I cook cauliflower every week as it is Aj's favorite. I used to make cauliflower fries a lot and used to think it is not good to deep fry, so it is cauliflower curry always. So had baking idea for a long time but never tried as it takes some time to bake while deep frying is really easy and made in jiffy. For me somehow baking is not same as my everyday cooking though baking is easy and simple to follow in terms of recipe. Finally determined to bake cauliflower today and did it. Pretty happy with the results. I referred here for baking temperature and duration.

    Instructions

    • Cut cauliflower into tiny bite size pieces. Let there be some stalk.
    • Boil water and add 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon turmeric.
    • Add cauliflower to the boiling water and switch off the flame.
    • Let it be aside for 10 mins.
    • After 10 mins, drain water completely.
    • Add 2 tablespoon of corn flour and toss to coat the cauliflower well.
    • In a mixing bowl, add ¼ cup oil, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, salt and garlic powder. Mix well.
    • Add ¼ cup maida, 1 tablespoon corn flour and 2 tablespoon of curd. Mix to make a paste.
    • Add cauliflower florets to this mixture and mix gently to coat all the florets.
    • If needed sprinkle water so that the batter coats the cauliflower.
    • Let it be aside for 10-20 mins for marination.
    • Preheat oven at 200 deg C (400 F) for 10 mins.
    • In a baking tray, line aluminium foil or baking sheet.
    • Sprinkle oil and grease the sheet well.
    • Arrange the marinated cauliflower over the sheet in a single layer without overcrowding.
    • Make sure no excess batter is spread over the sheet while placing otherwise your gobi will have wings.
    • Place the tray in middle rack and bake for 16 minutes in total, stirring in between once.
    • Once done, I baked in grill mode for 4 mins. You can take this as optional step. The grilling time can be increased to achieve more golden/ crisp results.

    Notes

    • I baked at 205 deg C as my oven allows to choose 5 deg. So if you can also do if you can.
    • I grilled in the same temperature and for just 4 mins as already my cauliflowers were roasted well.
    • Adding 2 tablespoon of corn flour earlier in step 6 is for the batter to stick to cauliflower better.

      Sorry about the confusion, but 1/4 cup = 4 tbsp = 60 ml. Hope its clear now.

      I will try this today. My daughter is a fan of Gobi 65 and I too was reluctant to deep fry. Great idea.

      I tried and came out tasty and crispy. But while turning the outer layer got stuck to the foil. Is it because insufficient greasing

        Could also be batter issue. Watery batter, More curd or corn flour also makes it stick.

      I made this with a version of your Rajma pulao recipe and it was fantastic. I used vegan (soy) yoghurt instead of curd and it was still crispy. Thanks for the recipe.

      Can you try to add metric values as well for the ingredients? This would make it a bit easier to weigh items, especially when the number of servings are changed, and it's kinda difficult to measure 0.66 cups. That said, i appreciate your efforts, this is a great recipe and an amazing alternative for the health conscious people. Thank you!

        Yes you can try vegan yogurt or use Lemon juice (2 tsp for this recipe) I have not personally tried this, but am sure it would be great sub.
