I've tried tandoori masala
Ingredients:
Cauliflower-1 whole
Ginger garlic paste-1 tbsp.
Chilli powder-2 tsp.
Turmeric Powder-1 tsp.
Cumin powder-1tsp.
Coriander powder-1 2 tsp.
Pepper powder-1 tsp.
Curd/Yogurt-2 tbsp.
Rice flour-1 tbsp.
Corn flour-1 tsp.
Lemon juice -2 tsp.
Kasuri Methi-2 tsp.
Salt- to taste
Oil- 2 tbsp.
Method:
1.Cut the leaves and edges of the cauliflower and keep it ready.
2.Boil water in a vessel and add turmeric powder and salt.
3.When the water boils,add the whole cauliflower upside-down.
4.Let it boil for 5 to 10 minutes. Make sure to cook only 50% in the hot water, or else it will start to break into pieces.
5.Remove and keep aside to drain the water(Make sure it is completely dry before applying masala)
6.In a wide pan add all the ingredients listed along with 1 tbsp. of oil and mix to make a paste.
7.Rub the prepared masala paste all over the cauliflower.
8.Let it marinate for 15-20 mins.(The more you marinate, the more it tastes good)
9.Pre-heat the air fryer @350°- 400°F for 10 minutes.
10.Spray some oil and place the cauliflower and cook for 10-15 minutes.(Time differs in every air fryer)
11.Remove and spray some oil and turn each and every side every 5-10 mins until crispy and done.
12. Air-fried cauliflower is lip smacking ,crisp and healthy with less oil.
Note:
●Temperature can be reduced or increased based on the heat produced.
●The same recipe can be done with zero oil(Air fryer) and deep fried method(in pan)
●I felt the food becomes too dry without oil.So added little.
●Apply the masala outside the cauliflower for air frying method and very thin coating inside.(Sometimes inside masala may not be fully cooked if it is a thick paste)
●If you are deep frying, you can apply the masala inside also.
