    Gobi Manchurian Dry recipe with step by step photos and short video. Gobi Manchurian is an Indo Chinese recipe where deep fried cauliflower florets are tossed in an hot and sour manchurian sauce. This gobi manchurian dry recipe is easy , simple and yields a restaurant style crispy cauliflower manchurian.

    Gobi or cauliflower manchurian is favorite among many but many complains of not getting that perfect crispness just as in restaurant. The main key in getting crisp cauliflower florets is in frying in medium heat . Also once after blanching cauliflower , make sure to wipe it completely dry so that , cauliflower doesn't soak up much oil while frying and also turns crisp.

    Also double frying gobi manchurian gives you the necessary crispiness, but I personally don't do it. I just fry it once on medium flame till it attains the required crispness.

    Cauliflower is one of the low calorie vegetable which is most popular among weight loss recipes. Though I make many healthier versions of Cauliflower recipes , at times to pamper my own taste buds I do make deep fried food and Indo Chinese recipes are my all time favorite.

    Few other cauliflower recipes from my blog are :

    • Cauliflower Potato Kurma
    • Tandoori Gobi
    • Gobi Paratha
    • Gobi Masala Dosa

    I love Indo Chinese food but one thing that put me off is the MSG that is used in restaurants. Hence I often try to makes this most loved Indo Chinese food at home to suit my taste. As I always have control on amount of sauces I use . If you love Indo Chinese food as I do , then you may these recipes.

    Instructions

    Preparing cauliflower florets

    • Firstly chop gobi/cauliflower in medium size florets.
    • Boil water, add cauliflower florets to hot water, add salt. Turn off the stove.
    • Keep them covered in the water for 15-20 minutes. Later drain water, pat it dry with kitchen towel and keep aside. If there is moisture in cauliflower then, it doesn’t become crisp while frying. So make sure to pat it dry.

    Frying cauliflower florets

    • In a bowl mix together all purpose flour, corn starch, black pepper, kashmiri red chili powder and salt.
    • Add water and whisk well to make a smooth batter without any lumps.
    • Dip each cauliflower floret in the batter and mix well.
    • Fry the batter coated cauliflower florets in hot oil in 2- 3 batches , depending on size of your pan.

    • Add chopped garlic, ginger and green chilies.
    • Then add chopped spring onions white and fry till raw smell goes off.
    • Now add capsicum, Increase the flame and cook on high flame till the capsicum is almost cooked.
    • Add soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and salt.
    • Add red chilli powder mixed in water and stir well. This is optional, I do this to get deep red colour. You can skip this step , if needed.
    • Add tomato ketchup or hot and sweet tomato sauce and stir well everything.
    • Add 3 tablespoon of water and bring to boil.
    • Now add fried cauliflower florets and give a quick stir for two to three minutes till sauce coats the cauliflower florets well.
