GOBI MANCHURIAN RESTAURANT STYLE (USING PANTRY STAPLES) ｜ CAULIFLOWER MANCHURIAN

Ingredients Required For Making Gobi Manchurian Recipe - * Cauliflower cut into small florets - 300 gm / 11oz * Onion - 1/2 cup chopped * Ginger - 2 teaspoons chopped * Garlic - 3 teaspoons chopped * Chopped green chili - depending how you like them * Onion powder - 1/2 teaspoon * Garlic Powder - 1/2 teaspoon * Red capsicum (bell pepper) / Green capsicum - 1/2 cup chopped * salt - to taste (remember soy sauce already is very salty so add less of salt) * Freshly Ground Black Pepper * Greens of green onions or cilantro (coriander leaves) - 2 tablespoons * oil for deep frying & 2 tablespoons for making sauce For the sauce - * Tomato Ketchup - 3 tablespoons * Light soy sauce or regular soy sauce - 1 tablespoon * Dark Soy Sauce - 1 tablespoon. If you do not have dark soy sauce, just use another tablespoon of regular soy sauce or light soy sauce * Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce - I used 1/2 tablespoon. You can adjust according to your preference. If you do not have sriracha you can use regular chili sauce. In that case add 1 teaspoon of white vinegar or lemon/lime juice * Sugar - 1 teaspoon. Add another teaspoon if you are not using dark soy sauce * Water - 1/2 cup For Cornflour slurry- * Cornflour(cornstarch) - 1 teaspoon level * Water - 3 tablespoons For Batter - * All Purpose Flour (Maida) - 4 tablespoons * Cornstarch(Cornflour) - 4 tablespoons * baking Powder - 1/2 teaspoon * Kashmiri red chili powder / paprika - 1 teaspoon * Grated Ginger and garlic or ginger garlic paste - 1 tablespoon * Salt - about 1/2 teaspoon * Freshly Ground Black Pepper * Chilled refrigerated water - as required. Do not add too much water in the beginning. Add little at a time and mix. Remember to make the batter just before frying. Please do not make the batter way ahead of time.That will result in an oily outer coating. After frying the cauliflower you can keep them in a 200 degree F oven to keep them warm and crisp while you prepare your sauce. You can also make the sauce first then fry the cauliflower. Heat up the sauce before adding the cauliflower. Serve this with my peas pulao or black bean rice. Recipe Links given below. You can also serve with hot steamed rice.
