Gobi Manchurian

One of the things that I missed most when I came to US was street food like what I used to love in Bangalore. And when I say street food the first thing that comes to my mind is Gobi Manchurian. So here is my version of Gobi Manchurian. Hope you like it.

INGREDIENTS:

Gobi / Cauliflower: 1 medium sized

Corn Flour: 2 cups

Red Chilli powder: 2 tsp

Red Onion: 1 small

Green Onions chopped: 1/2 cup (optional)

Ginger (Chopped into cubes): 1 tblspn

Garlic (Chopped into cubes): 1 tblspn

Chopped Green Chillies: 6-7 nos (as per taste)

Chopped Cilantro: 1/2 cup

Tomato Ketchup: 1/4 cup

Oil to deep fry

Salt to taste

Water for the batter as needed

METHOD:

Cut the cauliflower into florets, wash well and soak in water and a pinch or turmeric and salt.

In a bowl, add corn flour, salt, chilli powder and add water to make the batter. The batter should be a little thinner than the ones used for bhajji. 

Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying. 

Drain the florets, dip it in the batter and deep fry them till golden brown. Keep them aside.

In a kadai add a little oil. Add the chopped green chillies, ginger, garlic, green onions and onions. Saute for a few minutes. Add the tomato ketchup and half of the salt. Saute.

Add the fried florets. and sprinkle the rest of the salt and saute well. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot. You can add more ketchup as per taste.
