Ingredients

1 cup broccoli florets (appx 10-12)
2 tablespoon all purpose flour (maida)
2 tablespoon corn flour (corn starch)
1 teaspoon ginger minced
1 teaspoon garlic minced
1 teaspoon coriander leaves chopped
1 teaspoon curry leaves chopped
½ teaspoon garam masala powder
1 teaspoon kashmiri red chilli powder
1 teaspoon red chilli sauce
½ teaspoon black pepper powder
¼ cup water
oil to deep fry
salt to taste

Instructions

Take a bowl to add all the ingredients except oil & broccoli. I like to add equal amounts of all-purpose flour and cornstarch. But if you don't have flour, replace it with cornstarch alone.
Add water, mix it well. Make it medium-thick consistency batter, or make it as bajji mix consistency.
Add broccoli florets in the prepared batter, coat with the batter well. Please do not overcoat broccoli florets with batter. They become soggy.
Once the oil is hot, add broccoli and deep fry till golden brown & crisp on medium flame.
Garnish with fried green chili and curry leaves.

Notes

Do not overcoat broccoli florets with batter, they become soggy.
You can add food color, I used Kashmiri red chili powder to get color and taste.
You can also make the same dish with cauliflower. It is called Gobi 65 or Cauliflower 65.
