Deep fry the florets till crisp and golden in colour.  Drain them on an absorbent paper or paper towels. Serve cauliflower or gobi pakoras hot with tomato sauce, green chutney or coffee.

Sprinkle little chaat masala or lemon juice on top, at the time of serving. Add 1-2 tablespoons of hot oil to the pakora mixture for crispy cauliflower pakoras.   Related RecipesChilli bajji or mirchi bajji recipe – how to make mirchi bajji recipeArbi roast recipe – How to make spicy arbi roast or arbi fry recipe – colocasia roots/taro roots recipesGobi manchurian dry recipe – How to make gobi manchurian dry recipe – Indian snacksPaneer pakora recipe – How to make paneer pakoda recipe – easy Indian snacksPaneer 65 recipe (spicy paneer starter) – Indian snack recipesOnion or kanda poha recipe – how to make kanda poha recipe – Indian breakfast recipesSwiss roll recipe – how to make no bake swiss roll recipePaneer tikka recipe – How to make paneer tikka dry recipe – paneer tikka on tawaRaw banana bajji recipe – how to make raw banana or balekayi bajji recipe – snacks recipesMumbai pav bhaji recipe or how to make pav bhaji recipe
