Gobi Manchurian

Besides chaat, another Indian street food that I miss is the crisp gobi manchurian dipped in very little gravy. I tried to make them in India but they just wouldn't come crisp. When I came to know that the secret behind crisp gobis is rice flour, I knew I had to give a try to this dish one more time.And so, I began preparing it today for iftaar. Everybody enjoyed the dish.

For the manchurian:


Ingredints:

1 cauliflower,cut into florets and soked in warm water for some time
5 tbsp corn flour
1/2 cup rice flour
2 tbsp gram flour
salt, to taste
3 tsp soysauce
2 tbsp red chilli powder
1/2 tsp chopped ginger

Method:

Combine all the ingredints except cauliflower in a mixing bowl. Add enough water to make a thick paste. Add some rice flour if the batter gets watery. Add caulifower and marinate for 1/2 hour.Fry the gobis util golden brown.


For the sauce:


Ingredints:

1 tbsp oil
1 medium sized onion, very finely chopped
2 jalapeno, finely chopped
1/2 capsicum, chopped (optional)
2 tbsp hot sauce
2 1/2 tbsp tomato ketchup
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 springs coriander leaves
