Ingredients

Gobi

  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 1 c all purpose flour
  • ~1 c water
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 1/2 tsp red chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Sauce

  • 3/4 c onions (red and yellow both work!)
  • half a bunch of green onions (or to taste)
  • 2 tbsp chopped garlic
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sriracha
  • 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 6 dried red chillies
  • 1/2 tsp kashmiri mirch
  • 1/8 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 1 - 2 tbsp oil
  • 3/4 c water (or to preference depending on if you want it dry or saucy)

Instructions

Gobi

  • Mix flour, water, corn starch, and spices into a batter to coat your cauliflower in. Make sure to adjust water quantity to get the consistency you need.
  • Cut your head of cauliflower into florets and coat each one in the batter and knock off the access batter on the side of your bowl.
  • Pop your cauliflower into the airfryer at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. You may need to split into two batches so they cook evenly and turn out crispy!

Sauce

  • Heat up your oil in a skillet and and sauté your dried red chilies for 30 seconds or so. Then add in your onions and cook until translucent. Then add in green onions and garlic and sauté for another minute or so.
  • Add in green onions and garlic and sauté for another minute or so.
  • Add in all of your sauces and spices. For the corn starch, mix it in with some water until it dissolves before adding it in - this will prevent the corn starch from clumping.
  • Cook for about a minute and then add in the rest of your water and cook until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  • Serve with basmati rice and top with more green onions before serving.
