Air fryer Gobi 65 | Cauliflower 65
Description
You will love its signature tastes of pepper and curry leaves. The air fried version barely uses any oil but tastes fantastic!
Ingredients
- ½ cup cashew yogurt
- 1 tbsp. ginger garlic paste
- 1 sprig curry leaves
- 1 tbsp. chickpea flour
- 1 tbsp. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- 1 tsp. oil
- 2 tsp. kashmiri chilli powder or paprika
- ½ tsp. turmeric
- ¾ tsp. garam masala
- ¾ tsp. pepper
- ¾ tsp. salt
Directions
- Remove the leaves and cut the florets into bite-sized pieces. Before air frying, it is useful to soak the cauliflower in hot water.
- I normally soak in boiling hot water for about 5 minutes. Drain and then dry the florets thoroughly before marinating.
- mix together your ½ cup cashew (or any other) yogurt with ¾ tsp. each garam masala, pepper, 2 tsp. paprika, ½ tsp. turmeric, 1.5 tbsp. each chickpea flour and cornstarch, 1 tsp. lemon juice, 1 sprig finely chopped curry leaves, 1 tbsp. ginger garlic paste, 1 tbsp. oil and ¾ tsp. salt. Make a smooth marinade.
- Now coat the cauliflower florets with this marinade to cover them well. Set aside for 15 minutes for more flavour.
- Preheat air fryer at 180C or 360F for 3 minutes. Lay cauliflower florets in one row in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 180C or 360F for 12-15 minutes till the cauliflower is golden in colour and cooked inside. The parboiling of cauliflower helps in cooking it well while still avoiding the cauliflower drying out.
- In the final minute of air frying, add a few curry leaves and chopped green chillies in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry some more. Your Gobi 65 or Cauliflower 65 is ready to serve. Enjoy with a green chutney on the side.
