tandoori gobi recipe | tandoori gobhi | tandoori cauliflower tikka with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and flavoured snack recipe made with gobi florets and marinated spices. the recipe is an extension to the popular paneer tikka or even chicken tikka recipe as it is made very similar to those. it can be served as a snack by itself or it can be mixed with a curry to make tandoori gobi sabji recipe.
as i previously mentioned, this recipe is just a mimic of the popular meat-based tikka recipe. i even do not consider paneer tikka an authentic recipe and all the vegetables and paneer based tikka are meat or particularly chicken tikka alternative. having said that, the vegetarian alternative has garnered a lot of attention in the vegetarian community. these days it is been made in almost all vegetables. basically, you make the tikka marination and all almost any vegetables to it. tandoori gobi is also derived in the same way. and the marinated gobi florets is dipped in the yoghurt and spice mixture and barbecued in tawa/tandoor or even in a grill. i make these and use it in a curry or even in my chapathi roll but it is an open ended snack.
furthermore, i would like to highlight some of the tips, suggestions and even variations to tandoori gobi recipe. firstly, i always recommended to use a fresh and firm gobi or cauliflower. in addition, while chopping the gobi, you need to have medium to large size gobi florets. secondly, you need to marinate the florets as much as possible before you start cooking with it. to hasten the process you can marinate the previous day and cook when required. lastly, in this recipe, i have used tawa to grill the marinated gobi. you can use other popular options like oven or grill or whatever is comfortable for you.
