Air fryer chilli gobi recipe, Chilli gobi

Chilli gobi/ Air fryer Chilli gobi is a sweet, spicy and slightly tangy INDO – CHINESE appetizer/ side prepared by tossing air fried batter coated gobi florets in saucy veggies. Traditionally chilli gobi is prepared with deep fried batter coated gobi florets but to keep it healthy and for a guilt free eating I tried preparing this chilli gobi in air fryer and turned out great both in taste and look I must say just like this recipe AIR FRYER CHILLI FISH.

This chilli gobi can also be served with noodles/ fried rice or relished just like an appetizer.

If you like gobi much like me then you could try this recipe:
