Cauliflower (Gobi) Manchurian Recipe



Gobi (Cauliflower) Manchurian is a Chinese Dish and is very delicious to eat. We have it as a light snack. Clean cauliflower florets by soaking them in warm salted water for 15 minutes. Mixture of maida and corn flour is stir well until the lumps gets dissolved. Keep the mixture bit thick because we have to dip the florets in the mixture and then fry them. Keep the consistency thick so that the florets gats coated nicely with the mixture. Then dip the florets in the mixture of maida and corn flour and place then in the pan gently. Cook on medium flame. In the gravy or sauce we can add ½ tsp of sugar, it gives a little bit taste of sweetness. If you like onions, you can add 1-2 onions and add then firstly in the oil and cook them till little pink or golden brown then add all the ingredients in the same manner. Do not deep fry too many Gobi florets at a time otherwise they will not cook evenly due to over crowding. Chili sauce and soy sauce are two main flavouring agents in this recipe, adjust the quantity of them to get desired taste.
