Simple Gobi manchurian

Gobi Manchurian the most loved Indo chinese dish in India and my hubby's all time favorite appetizer. He loves it so much that every time we go to India, this is his first MUST to have dish. Initially I use to think its tough to make it. But I was wrong if you have all the right ingredients handy, this dish is simple and easy to make. Every time I make it, I see a big smile on my hubby's face :) .

1 medium Gobi (Cauliflower)
3/4 cup all purpose flour (Maida)

Water to make batter.
4-5 big garlic cloves minced into small pieces
1/2 inch ginger minced into small pieces
1/2 cup capsicum cubed (red, green)
3-4 green chilies cut into half
2 tbsp Soya Sauce 
2-3 tbsp Sriracha sauce or tomato Ketchup 
2 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp chilli sauce
2 tbsp Oil
Finely chopped Coriander Leaves 
Finely chopped spring onions leaves

How I Prepare
1. In a mix bowl add maida,  corn flour, rice flour, garlic paste, ginger paste, pepper powder, salt and few drops of  Sriracha sauce or tomato sauce.
2. Slowly add water to the above mix and make a thick batter. 
3. In a frying pan, add oil and heat it up
4. Cut the Gobi into florets and dip them in the paste and deep fry till golden brown. Keep aside.




5. Heat oil in another pan and add the minced ginger & garlic, chopped capsicum and green chili to it.
Saute it for 2-3 minutes.
6. Add Soya sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, sriracha sauce or tomato sauce. Mix it well.
7. Increase the flame and add fried Gobi.Mix it well. Toss it couple of times until gobi is nice and hot.
8. Garnish it with coriander leaves and spring onions and serve it hot.

 I was out of coriander and spring rolls that's the reason my Gobi is missing the garnish :)
