Cauliflower Malligae

Recently, I happen to see Cauliflower malligae recipe presented by Mr.Venkatesh Bhat in Vijay TV Kitchen Super star. Immediately I decided to make this wonderful dish. I tried this and the very first time itself, its a big hit. The taste is dainty. Generally I dont prefer cauliflower but this dish fascinated me to make more dishes using cauliflower. Cauliflower marinated with green paste fried in oil makes this dish so tasty. Let me explain the recipe now..

Preparation Time	15 mins
Cooking Time	20 mins
Servings	3-4

Ingredients:

Gobi / Cauliflower	1 small size
Mint leaves	1 handfull
Coriander leaves	1 handfull
Curry leaves	1 handfull
Green Chillies	2
Garlic cloves	5
Gram Flour	1/4 Cup
Rice flour	1/4 Cup
Corn Flour	1/4 Cup
Turmeric	1/4 teaspoon
Oil	For Frying

Method:

Cut the cauliflower into medium size florets and put it in water along with turmeric powder and keep it aside for 15 mins

Meanwhile, take the mint leaves, coriander leaves and curry leaves and wash it thoroughly.

Grind all these green leaves to a nice paste along with green chillies and garlic cloves

After 15 minutes, take the cauliflower florets from the water and take it in a bowl. Add the ground paste and mix well along. Then add gram flour, rice flour and corn flour along with salt and mix all of them well to coat the cauliflower florets evenly. The flours are added to coat the green paste nicely in the florets and also while frying, these flours will give crispiness to the cauliflower florets

Heat oil in pan for frying. When the oil is hot enough, gently drop the florets in and fry it in medium-high flame

Gently turn the florets to fry evenly and till it becomes crisp

The crispy and yummy cauliflower malligae is ready to serve. We take a pan, add broken green chillies and 1 teaspoon of curd and mix the fried cauliflower malligae and toss it and serve hot.
