Gobi popcorn recipe with step by step pictures and video. Popcorn cauliflower is a party snack sure to be a favorite among kids.
Generally maida and cornflour is used for the flour mix but I replaced it with wheat for a more healthier option. I wouldn’t say this gives the exact taste and texture with maida but it does taste good, yes my kids approved!
