Gobhi Manchurian Dry

BM # 27 Day 1
Party Appetizer for vegetarians


This month I am part of non stop month long bologging Marathon 27. As we are focussing on occasional recipes in the first week, My first post will be Gobhi Manchurian Dry. This is one item that I almost make for my vegetarian friends, whenever there is a get together. I had my friends come over for Easter lunch yesterday. Generally on Easter we mainly make non veg dishes & very rarely make any vegetarian items. Since my friend's hubby is a vegetarian, I made a small portion of Gobhi Manchurian for him. I rarely add color in my food recipes. That is why you will see that my Manchurian has a different color than the regular red. This shiny blackish color comes from the dark soya sauce that I use. BTW for me Manchurian is a easiest & fastest recipe I can make under 10 mins:)

Ingredients for Cauliflower fry :
  1. 1 Medium size Cauliflower (cut, Clean & soak them in salted water for 15 mins)
  2. 2 tbspn corn flour
  3. 1 tbspn Rice Flour
  4. 2 tbspn Maida All purpose flour
  5. 1/4 cup water
  6. 1 tbspn Chili Powder
  7. Salt as per taste
  8. Oil for deep frying
Method: Make a thick batter using ingredients 2 to 7 & add in the Cauliflower into this batter. Deep fry this in hot oil for 3 to 5 mins. Remove it when its golden brown.
Ingredients for the Masala:
  1. 2 tbspn finely chopped Garlic
  2. 1 Tbsp finely chopped ginger
  3. 2 tbspn Dark Soya Sauce
  4. 1 tbspn Chili Powder
  5. 1 Tbsp oil
  6. 1/4 tspn sugar
  7. Coriander leaves/ spring onions for garnish
Method: In a Pan/ Wok add oil fry Ginger & garlic for 2 mins. Now add in the sauces, sugar, chili powder & give it a good mix. Finalyy add the fried cauliflower & give it a good mix so that it is well coated.
Note:
  • Cauliflower is soaked in salt water to kill any germs in them
  • If you want you can also add onions & capsicum in it.
  • I don't add ajinamoto as its not good for health.
  • This dish looks blackish coz I have used dark soya sauce
