One of my favourites and the food I eat with great care ( rather scrutiny for the fear of eating fried.. hehe..u all know that ;D ) No matter how many news/stories I hear about people being attacked by the cauliflower 'wrigglies' ;D I can never resist this wonderful crispy,juicy,saucy dish.This is a definate 'order' for our every meal @ a hotel. I have tried making it many a time at home but this recipe fits in perfectly. The main reason being, the fried flowerets do not stick to each other unlike the other recipes which I happen to try out and it remains crunchy till the last bite. I always wash cauliflower using a bit of turmeric powder and salt.

Garnish with coriander leaves.
Serve hot! (it hardly has a gravy, it will be thickly coated. If gravy is needed… dilute 2 tbsp corn flour with 1 cup of water and add to it... let it boil and thicken.)
Dry Gobi Manchurian can be served as a starter.

Now, after trying my mom's recipe, I wonder why on earth did I even attempt others when I had such a good one ! :D This recipe is simple & a bit hit wherever it was served!! Thanks Amma!!! This is one of the recipes featured in her cookery classes.

Ohh..it's absolutely mouthwatering..
New to u r blog ..it's gr8.:)
Flower beauty ,Sreesu- Thank you gurls!! :)
ur blog is just grt....i agree its a very very popular indian street food...reminds me of my college days...there was a vendor near our college gate who made absolutely grt manchurians...could never replicate them...will definitely try this...but again one ques...why do u microwave the cauliflower in the beg. is it to get it dried completely ..??...keep up the good work...
Reny- I bet everybody has this so called manchurian vendor near their colleges! Even we had one :D
I microwaved it so that water oozez out of the cauliflower.. thats because salt is added.. and that amount of water is enough for the batter...because if the batter consistency is not proper then the fried cauliflower will either be stone crisp or soggy. I felt doing it this way is PERFECT!! :)
Hope you like it! Let me know!! :D
Errol sent me your blog and I'm SO excited to find a recipe for gobi manchurian here! I look forward to following your blog!
