GOBHI MANCHURIAN




Gobhi Manchurian is an Indo Chinese Appetizer and is always loved as a starter and goes well with any type of drink whether hot or cold. It is very simple and easy to cook recipe and takes very little time. In this recipe we have made its gravy which is a very thick one, only used to coat the cauliflower pieces. Then deep fry the cauliflower pieces coated with a batter. It’s a perfect blend of Indian and Chinese cuisine to give that extra effect to the recipe. You can substitute the cauliflower with small idli and make Idli Manchurian or any other substitute.
