Tandoori Gobi serves as a great starter or even as a snack.As it is baked in oven it requires very less oil and is very healthy.It is also a best camp food.

Ingredients required :

1/2 tsp garam masala

1tbsp red chilli powder

Step 1: Method of Preparation:

-Add a cup of curd to muslin cloth and hang over for about 30 mins. In this way we remove all the whey and get thick curd.

-Now add cauliflower florets to curd spice mixture Add 1 tbsp oil and mix so that cauliflower florets are nicely blended with the curd and spices.

-Marinate for 1hr.

Step 3: Baking:

-preheat the oven to 200 degrees

-Transfer the florets on to baking tray.

-My florets were of 2 diffrent sizes. I placed large florets on the wire rack and small florets on the tray.

-Bake for 25 mins at 200 degrees.

-when they turn brown in colour remove them. This can be served with a salad.

Please where do you find curd?

[navneetha]

I didnt buy curd from store.I have just taken normal curd and removed excess water by straining through a cheese cloth. u wil get thick curd.

[jeane.d.allison]

Could you be talking about plain yogurt? I've heard of removing water/whey from yogurt to make it thicker. Your recipe sounds delish!

[navneetha]

Thanks jeane.ya I used plain yoghurt and removed whey.

I'd guess cottage cheese can be a thick curd substitute, straining out the liquid in a cheesecloth as directed here...I have always loved cauliflower so this is a recipe I will use. Thanks;

[navneetha]
