Gobi Manchurian


Prerequisite: Mixer

Manchurian is a Chinese preparation which is famous throughout the world. Different countries have modified the original recipe by tweaking it a little bit to suit their palate. Suma shares the Indian version of the same below. Thanks dear!


Ingredients Used:
1Cauliflower cut into small florets- cleaned in hot water
6 tsp all purpose flour
2 tsp corn flour
Oil for deep frying
1 cup finely chopped coriander leaves
2 onions and 6-7 garlic cloves chopped Lengthwise chopped capsicum and cylindrically chopped spring onions- (optional)
4 tsp red chilli powder( to suit your palate)
Salt to taste
Tomato sauce, green chilli sauce and soya sauce (1 tsp each or depending upon your taste)

How to make :
Grind coriander leaves and green chillies. To the florets, sprinkle maida and corn flour, sprinkling very little water to bind them together. Add red chilly powder and required amount of salt. Fry in oil and make sure that the florets are separate while frying.
Heat 2 tsp of oil in a wok. Add chopped onions, garlic, cauliflower florets and sauces. Use very little salt as the sauces already contain some salt. Add the ground paste. Mix well. Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.

Note: Do not overdo the cornflour. Otherwise the fried cauliflower florets will turn too cripsy
