Gobhi Manchurian Gravy (Cauliflower)

Well this was one of the dish in my Valentines day dinner Menu. I had so much of plans on this day but with baby at home it highly impossible to execute any of those. Finally I decided on a simple fast menu and it was.... Malai Murg Kebab, Gobi Manchurian Gravy, Egg Fried Rice & Gooey Chocolate Cake with Ice Cream. After making all this I was dead tired:(

Ingredients for Cauliflower fry :

• 1 tbspn Chili Powder
• Salt as per taste
• 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 Gravy:

• 1 medium Capsicum diced
• 1 medium Onion diced in layers

Method: In a Pan/ Wok add oil fry the onion, garlic for 2 mins. Add capsicum, 5 to 10 ingredients. fry for a minute & add water & bring to boil. Now in a cup take 1/4 cup of water mix the corn flour & make a think paste. Add this to the boiling water and keep stirring. Cook this for a minute & turn off the gas. Add in the fried cauliflower just before serving. By doing this the cauliflower remains crunchy. Garnish this with spring onion.

 

 

 

 

Note:

• Cauliflower is soaked in salt water to kill any germs in them
• I don't add ajinamoto as its not good for health.
• If you want your Manchurian dry, skip adding so much water. Instead add just 2 tbspn of water & 1/4 tspn of corn flower directly into the mixture.
• This dish looks blackish coz I have used dark soya sauce
