Notes

Frying two times enables the gobi to come out crispy and crunchy.
The batter should be in correct consistency that it coats the spoon.
Adding ajinomoto is optional.
I have added color instead you can add kashmiri red chillies.
This can be served with ketchup or as a side-dish for a main course.
