Preparation of batter

Mix maida, cornflour, rice flour, salt and chilli powder ( since we have already added salt & chilli powder while marinating the gobi- add less now) with little water to make a paste first.Then add more water and make a thin batter. The batter should coat the cauliflower, so it should not be too thin.

Dip the Gobi florets in the batter completely and deep fry them until golden brown. Drain the oil and spread them on a paper towel.

Preparation of sauce

Heat oil, fry garlic, followed by chilli, ginger and onions in high heat. Add spring onion greens, chilli powder, tomato sauce, soya sauce and need salt.
