Instructions

  1. Rinse the cauliflower under tap water and wipe it dry. Cut and discard the stem. Then cut the cauliflower into 1 inch pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients for the marinade to get a smooth paste like consistency.  
  3. Add the cauliflower florets and mix well so they get coated with the marinade. 
  4. (optional) If you like, you can thread the cauliflowers into skewers.

Air Fryer Method

  1. Transfer the cauliflower florets to the air fryer basket. Arrange them in a single layer. Cook in multiple batches if needed.Brush with oil and bake at 360°F (or 180℃) for 18 mins. Shake in between at 10 minutes. (Note: Check after 16 minutes and adjust cooking time as needed)

Oven Method

Notes

  • This is medium spicy.  To reduce the spice level, skip red chili powder and/or reduce the quantity of garam masala.
  • If you don't have gram flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour or rice flour.
  • Skip the oil if you want to make this oil-free. Tandoori Gobi will still taste great. 
  • Kashmiri red chili powder can be substituted with paprika.
