Cauliflower/Gobi Manchurian:

Gobi/Cauliflower Manchurian




Gobi/Cauliflower Manchurian is an all-time favorite among kids as well as adults. With little effort, we can make perfect restaurant-style, Gobi Manchurian at home.
Here's the recipe. I adapted this from Vah Chef's Manchurian recipe and altered here and there, to suit our taste.



Ingredients:



Gobi/Cauliflower Florets


Cauliflower - 1 (cut into small florets)
(florets of one cauliflower about 250gms)

Capsicum - 1 (diced into small cubes)

Big Onion - 1 (finely chopped)

Garlic - 5 pods (finely chopped)

Ginger paste - 1 tsp.

Corn flour - 1 tbsp.

Plain Flour - 3 tbsp.

Rice flour - 1 tbsp.

Turmeric Powder/Haldi - 1/4 tsp.

Chilli powder - 1 tsp.

Salt - to taste (can use less, since we use sauces which contain salt)

Soya sauce - 1/2 tsp.

Tomato ketchup - 1 tsp.

Ching's Manchurian sauce - 2 tbsp.
(available at Mustafa Centre, Singapore)

Fresh Coriander - to garnish.

Spring Onion - to garnish (optional)




Method:



Combine corn, plain and rice flour together with bit of salt and turmeric. Add enough water to make a batter out of it. Coat all the florets with the batter and deep fry until golden. Set aside. (to expedite the frying time, we can microwave the cauliflower for 2 minutes before frying)

Switch off and garnish with fresh coriander and spring onion.

Since, deep frying's involved, it can be an occasional treat for kids.
