Gopi 65 / Cauliflower 65
Cauliflower 65 is a popular South Indian appetizer made by deep-frying marinated cauliflower florets until golden and crispy. Inspired by the famous Chicken 65, this vegetarian version features a bold blend of spices like red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, and ginger-garlic paste, often enhanced with a touch of yogurt or lemon juice for tanginess. After frying, the florets are tossed in a tempering of curry leaves, green chilies, and sauces for extra flavor. Cauliflower 65 is loved for its crunchy texture and spicy kick, making it a favorite snack or party dish, often served with chutney or as part of a larger South Indian meal.
