Ingredients:

2 cups cauliflower, cut into florets

Oil to deep fry

For the batter:

5 tablespoon maida / plain flour

3 tablespoon cornflour

½ teaspoon red chilli powder (optional, depending on heat level preferred)

¼ teaspoon pepper powder

1 garlic clove, minced

A pinch of salt

About ¼ cup water

For the sauce:

1 small onion, chopped fine

¼ cup capsicum, chopped fine

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon green chilli sauce

2 teaspoon soy sauce

2 teaspoon vinegar

2 teaspoon cornflour mixed with 4 tablespoon water

Salt, check before adding

How to Make Gobi Manchurian

1. Let's start with the sauce. Heat oil and fry the onions, capsicum, green chillies, if using, and garlic until the onions turn golden brown.

2. Add the ketchup and the green chilli sauce to the onions and mix well. Fry for 30 seconds.

3. Turn the heat to high and add the soy sauce and vinegar. Mix well for 5 seconds and lower heat back down. Fry for 30 more seconds.

4. Now add the cornflour-water mixture and mix until the sauce thickens. Check salt and add more only if necessary, since the soy sauce and chilly sauce may have salt. Set sauce aside.

5. Mix ingredients for the batter until you get a slightly loose batter of pouring consistency. Heat oil until its just short of smoking hot, coat each cauliflower with the batter and drop it into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and drain on kitchen towels. Repeat.

6. Once all the cauliflower florets have been fried, add to the sauce and mix well. Serve hot garnished with coriander leaves or green onions.
