Ingredients
  • Cauliflower florets
  • Onions, finely chopped
  • Garlic, minced
  • Ghee or cooking oil

  • Plain Yogurt
  • Tomato, diced
  • Gram flour (Besan)

Directions
  1. 1
    Blend the onions and garlic into a smooth paste using a food processor or blender.
  2. 2

    Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets.
  4. 4
    Dip the cauliflower florets into the gram flour batter, ensuring they are well-coated.
  5. 5
    Heat oil in a deep pan or pot and deep fry the battered cauliflower until light golden brown and crispy.

    Remove the fried cauliflower from the oil and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
  7. 7
    In a separate skillet, heat the ghee or oil over medium heat.

    Stir in the turmeric, cumin, coriander powder, and garam masala. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
