Easy, spicy and totally delicious. This Air fryer Masala Gobi is crisp from the outside and soft and delicate from the inside.
Made with staple pantry ingredients, this cauliflower recipe goes well with rice, roti or just by itself.
In addition, this crowd-pleaser of a dish is vegan!
I totally believe that masala cauliflower/Gobi is one of the most versatile cauliflower recipes.
It's easy to make, tastes great, and you can use it in a variety of cuisines.
Cauliflower recipes are quite popular in Indian vegetarian cuisine and there are at least hundreds of recipes are there.
Growing up our favourite was humble Aloo Gobhi/Alu Gobhi, and we used to have that with our soft phulka or roti.
On weekends Dal Palak/Lentil Soup with spinach with white rice and cauliflower fry was our delicacy.
I make many varieties of cauliflower but our favourite is Whole Roasted Cauliflower, and Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower.
On occasion, I make Peri -Peri Cauliflower Tacos.
Cauliflower rice is quite popular with people who are watching their weight and avoiding carbs.
How to Make Air Fryer Masala Gobi?
First, boil the cauliflower florets till they are fork-tender.
Marinate the cauliflower with spices, herbs, and curry leaves.
Grill them at 350 f for 10-12 minutes till they look golden and cooked.
You can make them crispy as per your taste.
Use them in a flatbread wrap or with fresh crisp salad as a topping. Enjoy.
What Ingredients are Needed?
Cauliflower- Using fresh cauliflower is a must for this wonderful recipe but somehow if you are not able to get ahold of a fresh one, you can use frozen ones.
Spices- Turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, oil, ginger-garlic paste, and lots of curry leaves.
Do's and Dont's--
Do not over boil the cauliflower, cook it only till fork tender.
That will give them the perfect texture.
If you are not parboiling it, it won't have that wonderful creamy texture.
Marinate them for at least 15 -30 minutes. That will give them a wonderful taste.
Do not over grill them, as the cauliflower will taste bitter.
