Yesterday I promised a Chaat recipe but here I am with a crunchy fry.Will definitely post the Chaat tomorrow….


One Sunday noon my folks wanted something spicy and crunchy munchy to go with lunch. That’s when I made this cauliflower fry. It is similar to bajji but I added a few spices to spice it up further. Very yummy snack with steamed rice and sambar.



I used:

Cauliflower florets from 1 large cauliflower
Oil for deep frying

Make a smooth batter of coating consistency [like bajji batter] with water

Besan / chickpea flour – ¼ cup
Rice flour- 2 tablespoons
Cumin powder- ¼ teaspoons
Chilli powder -1 teaspoon
Asafoetida powder- a pinch
Pepper powder- ¼ teaspoon
Saunf powder- a pinch [roast saunf in a pan and powder]
Garam masala- a pinch
Salt to taste

1. Parboil the florets,drain excess water and spread on a kitchen towel for 10 minutes.
2. Heat oil for deep frying.
3. Dip the florets in batter and drop them into the hot oil and fry till it is golden brown.
4. Drain on absorbent paper and serve.

Goes well as a side dish with steamed rice and sambar or as a snack with tea.

Bon Appetit…

  1. Hey PJ,

    I can imagine their crunch looking at the pic. I always fail to impress hubby as these are his favourite and my gobi fritters never meet his expectations. Last time I had put all my efforts and still saw his knotted eyebrows and twitched lips. I angrily declared I will never make these again in my life. Your pics make me wanna try again… Wish me luck

    Regards,
