ABOUT GOBHI 65 RECIPE

This is inspired from an Andhra spicy non veg snack, Chicken 65. Vegetarians can replace the chicken with cauliflower and relish it too. This is a nice and crispy snack and has to be served immediately after making. You can half fry the florets with the batter and do the finishing touches just before serving.
