There is an interesting history about the name for this recipe. outwardly, the recipe was first started by a military canteen in Tamilnadu. In the menu list, it was the 65th item and hence the name was derived as gobi 65 recipe. well, that is one of the popular stories moving around, but then there are other stories too. Fried snacks with a kick of heat are fantastic to enjoy at the beginning of a meal, between meals, or really anytime! And this gobi 65 recipe is one of my favorite spicy dishes that I could eat throughout the day. Here the florets are marinated in a spicy marinade, prior to frying. This makes the florets absorb the spicy flavours, while keeping them terrifically light and crispy, and lets the spices shine.
