I do make cauliflower fritters using chickpea flour. Your version with lentils and blended cauliflower sounds interesting di .
Preethi have made cauliflower bhajia using florets but love your recipe. The soaked moong and urad dal add the required crispiness and adding blended cauliflower is so different. Perfect snack with masala tea.
Instead of using florets, I simply love the idea of coarsely grounded cauliflower into the batter. These are the prefect snack option for tea time.
Gobhi vada with moong and udad dal sounds crispy crunchy and delicious. Always make gobhi vada with besan and small sized cauliflower florets never tried with dal. Loved the idea. Next time I will make this way. Superb share.
I’ve made bajji using cauliflower florets, but never tried making vadas with it this way. Love the idea of adding coarsely crushed cauliflower to the batter. The fritters look so delightful!
Gobi fritters looks very crispy and tasty Preethi ji, i regularly prepare Gobi fritters with chickpea flour . Your version fritters using moong nd urad dal, blended gobi sound interesting.
I always make with urad dal paste , never tried with moong dal and urad dal mixture.
I will surely try this.
I make Gobi fritters with besan and rice flour. Loved your version of using ground lentils, Preethi…
This one a new and interesting way of Gobhi fritters to me.. never used grated Gobhi ..vadas look so inviting.. a hearty treat with chai and chutney!
I make cauliflower bhaji, but add it as a whole. Never mashed and added it. This looks interesting as generally the whole is never being eaten by the fussy eaters.
