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.
