Who does not love Gobi Manchurian? This is an ubiquitous food available almost everywhere in India and abroad. Now a days you can also get cauliflower (gobi) across the year. We love to order Gobi Manchurian all the time at our favorite restaurants but making this food at home is incredibly easy.
To make the Gobi Manchurian more crispy, fry the florets two times before tossing into the sauce. The picture below has been taken after first fry. If you are planning to fry twice, make sure they are not over fried, otherwise the Florets will burn.
You can serve the Gobi Manchurian as an appetizer or also with Fried rice.
- 1lb ( 450gm ) Cauliflower/Gobi
- ½ Tablespoon Garlic finely chopped
- ½ Tablespoon Ginger finely chopped
- ⅛ Teaspoon Red Chili power

- Break the Gobi/Cauliflower in medium size floret. Take a pot of water, add salt and bring it to a boil. Put the Cauliflower florets into the hot water and blanch them for 7-12 minutes.

2. If you want to make more gravy add little water but the crispiness will be gone. This recipe is at its best when made without any water.
