cauliflower Manchurian

Gobi Manchurian is a popular and delicious Indo Chinese recipe that's made with crispy fried gobi (cauliflower)  coated in a delicious sweet and tangy Manchurian sauce. Gobi is a Hindi word for cauliflower. Gobi Manchurian is quite popular in Pakistan and India. This delicious crispy fried appetizer is very popular in Indian subcontinent. It is quite popular in street foods, restaurants and parties.

Gobi Manchurian has a right balance of slightly spicy, sour, sweet and tangy sauce that's primarily made with soya sauce, tomato sauce and red chilli sauce. Manchurian dishes are usually bright red in color and for that I added Kashmiri red chilli powder and don't add any food color to the sauce. Manchurian recipe can be made using chicken, mixed vegetable, soya chunks, etc., If you want more crispy florets and add more corn flour to the batter. Gobi Manchurian goes well with fried rice or noodles or serve as starter or appetizer. Follow my step-by-step photo recipe to prepare Gobi Manchurian.
