Ingredients

Instructions

For the Gobi (Cauliflower) Fritters:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, and salt.

2. Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking until you have a smooth, thick batter.

3. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.

4. Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it’s well coated, and then carefully drop it into the hot oil. Fry until the florets are golden brown and crispy. Remove and place them on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

For the Manchurian Sauce:

1. In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat.

2. Add chopped garlic and ginger, and sauté for a minute until they turn aromatic.

3. Add finely chopped onions and bell peppers and stir-fry for a few minutes until they are slightly tender.

4. Add soy sauce, chili sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Mix well and let it cook for a couple of minutes.

5. Pour in 1/2 cup of water and bring the mixture to a simmer.

6. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Stir this into the simmering sauce to thicken it. Continue to cook until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

7. Add the fried cauliflower florets to the sauce and toss them gently to coat them evenly.

8. Garnish with chopped green onions.

9. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Gobi Manchurian!
