I love cauliflower. It is a versatile vegetable that can be turned into anything fulfilling and tasty. You can call these cauliflower bites gobi tikka, cauliflower skewers, or tandoori gobi. Whatever the name, Tandoori Gobi Tikka is a lip-smacking, healthy snack. Tikka means ‘bits’ or bite-size pieces. Hence, the dish got its name – gobi (cauliflower) tikka. This veg tikka, like my paneer tikka is utterly simple to make, requires minimal preparation, is meal prep friendly, and is a crowd-pulling BBQ snack.
Meal Prep For Tandoori Gobi
Gobi Tikka is a meal-prep-friendly recipe. Follow these steps: Clean and cut cauliflower into bite-size florets. Store it in a ziplock bag in the refrigerator at the beginning of the week. Prepare the marinade for the tikka. Add cauliflower florets. Make sure each piece of cauliflower is coated well with the marinade. Transfer marinated cauliflower to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for 1 – 2 days. Bring out the marinated cauliflower from the fridge and grill before serving.
How To Cook – 3 Ways
Pan Method: Heat a grill pan over medium flame. Grease it with a teaspoon of mustard oil. Arrange the marinated cauliflower florets in the preheated grill pan. Cook them evenly from both sides till they are crisp and charred marks appear. This usually takes 5 – 10 minutes. Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease the baking sheet with a teaspoon of oil. Arrange the gobi tikka on the greased tray. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or till they turn brown and crisp. Turn halfway through cooking time. Air Fryer Method: Arrange marinated cauliflower in the basket or tray of an air fryer. Spray cooking oil over the marinated florets.
