Crispy Cauliflower fry or Crispy Cauliflower Pakoda is my favorite evening snack. It is also called as, crispy gobi fry or gobi pakora. I was waiting for a long time, to publish this post. I used to make it often, but since I always make in the evening time, I never found good lightings to take the photo. So I keep on postponing to take a good picture of this fry. Finally, I made these by 3 pm itself last Saturday with good sun light and here goes the recipe.....
