Cauliflower / Gobi Manchurian Dry

Cauliflower Manchurian















Gobi Manchurian is one of my Favorite Indo-Chinese dish. Here I tried in many restaurants but never got one that resembled the ones that we used to have from India. So i thought its better that i make it myself :-)
I would like to dedicate this post to my Office cafeteria moments with my dear friend Anu. We have had lots of Gobi Manchurian and Fried Rice during those late night work hours in our Office.
I really do miss that life. It was really awesome.
So here i go to the recipe
Mine was a bit tangy as the spice level was low. Do use Chili Sauce if you like a bit spicy Manchurian

Ingredients(Serves 3)
Cauliflower florets - 200 gms

For Batter
Maida - 5tbsp
Corn Starch - 3 tbsp
Salt
Red Chilly pdr - 1/2 tsp
Water - 3/4 cup

Oil - for frying

For the Sauce
Oil - 2 tbsp
Onion minced - 125 gms
Green Bell Pepper minced - 100 gms
Green  Chilly chopped - 4 nos
Green Onion - 5 stalks
Garlic - 4 large cloves minced (around 15 gms)
Soy Sauce - 4 tsp
White Vinegar - 2 tsp
Ketchup - 4 tbsp (I used Heinz Red Chili Sauce, Its not spicy)
Salt - Optional (I didn't use salt for sauce as it was not needed)
Water - 4 tbsp
Corn Starch - 2 tsp

Mix in all the Ingredients in For Batter and mix the cauliflower florets in it and coat with the batter well.
The batter consistency should be not too thick nor too watery.
Heat the oil for frying and fry all the batter coated Cauliflower florets and keep aside.

Sauce
Meanwhile heat oil in a pan and add the chopped onion and saute it well.
Add Bell Pepper, Green chilly, Green Onion and Garlic and saute them well.
Now add the Soy Sauce, white Vinegar and ketchup and cook for a minute.
Now add the water and once its heated, add the corn starch and mix well with the water and let it cook
Do a taste test and add salt if required.
Once the gravy reached your expected consistency, add the fried cauliflower and mix it so that it gets coated with the sauce.
Now garnish with the Green Onion.

Serve it as it is or you can have it with Fried Rice too

Happy Munching Guys!!!
