Gobi Manchurian Recipe | How to make Dry Gobi Manchurian at home – with step by step photos, description and video of the recipe. This is one of the Super delicious and tasty recipe from Indo-chinese cuisine. Gobi Manchurian dry will be one of the starter in many of the street stalls, parties or in restaurants. You can easily prepare this at home, not only in restaurants.
Gobi Manchurian is made from Cauliflower florets also known as Gobi. You can find two types of preparation. One is Gobi Manchurian Dry typically considered as starter and the other is Gobi Manchurian Gravy typically considered as side dish. If you are looking for the recipe of Gobi Manchurian Dry then you are at right place. Gobi Manchurian Gravy recipe i will write may be in the further days. This dish is prepared from Cauliflower or Gobi florets are dipped in the flour batter and stir fried in oil then coated with the sauces, capsicum, and ginger garlic paste.
Important note- I have not used any MSG (Mono sodium glutamate ) in the recipe. In some restaurants they put MSG for the taste.
Usually all purpose flour (maida) will be used for making the batter. But here I used Besan (Gram flour) and Corn flour to prepare the batter. Instead pf Besan or Maida you can use whole wheat flour and corn flour also. Gobi florets, corn flour, soy sauce and tomato ketchup are must in this recipe. If you don’t want to use vinegar leave it. Even I haven’t used vinegar in the recipes till now.
This dish is fairly easy to prepare but bit lengthy procedure. Not much spicy like we eat in streets and restaurants. You can add more red chilli powder or pepper powder to increase the spice.
First cut the Cauliflower into a one bite sized florets, wash it and then boil in water for five minutes. Which helps to remove the impurities from the Cauliflower. Once you boil the Gobi florets, you need to make it dry means water has to be dried. So put on a kitchen towel and gently rub it and leave for sometime. Meanwhile you can prepare the batter.
Then coming to the serving part, this Indo chinese starter pairs very well with Noodles, Veg Fried rice, Schezwan Fried rice and many people like to have along with naan. And also it is a good starter.
