Ingredients

  • 1 small cauliflower or 1 lb.

Marinade

  • ½ cup cashew yogurt
  • 1 tbsp. ginger garlic paste
  • 1 sprig curry leaves
  • 1 tbsp. chickpea flour
  • 1 tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. oil
  • 2 tsp. Kashmiri chilli powder or paprika
  • ½ tsp. turmeric
  • ¾ tsp. garam masala
  • ¾ tsp. pepper
  • ¾ tsp. Salt

Instructions

  • Remove the leaves and cut the florets into bite-sized pieces. Before air frying, it is useful to soak the cauliflower in hot water.
  • I normally soak in boiling hot water for about 5 minutes. Drain and then dry the florets thoroughly before marinating.
  • mix together your ½ cup cashew (or any other) yogurt with ¾ tsp. each garam masala, pepper, 2 tsp. paprika, ½ tsp. turmeric, 1.5 tbsp. each chickpea flour and cornstarch, 1 tsp. lemon juice, 1 sprig finely chopped curry leaves, 1 tbsp. ginger garlic paste, 1 tbsp. oil and ¾ tsp. salt. Make a smooth marinade.
  • Now coat the cauliflower florets with this marinade to cover them well. Set aside for 15 minutes for more flavour.
  • Preheat air fryer at 180C or 360F for 3 minutes. Lay cauliflower florets in one row in the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry at 180C or 360F for 12-15 minutes till the cauliflower is golden in colour and cooked inside. The parboiling of cauliflower helps in cooking it well while still avoiding the cauliflower drying out.
  • In the final minute of air frying, add a few curry leaves and chopped green chillies in the air fryer basket.
  • Air fry some more. Your Gobi 65 or Cauliflower 65 is ready to serve. Enjoy with a green chutney on the side.
