In our household it's always been a favourite but I often hestitated to make it due to the deep frying involved....well only until now! Having discovered that I can create the very same Gobi Manchurian magic without deep frying has made us very happy fans of this delicious savoury delicacy!
Here is my non-deep fried Gobi Manchurian - healthier than the traditional method and a much quicker time taken to create the same amazing taste!
Ingredients: 1 cauliflower (washed and florets separated), handful of curry leaves, 1 tablespoon corn flour, fresh chillies chopped (as many as suits), 1 onion chopped small, small cup of chopped spring onions, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon garlic paste, half a cup of tomato sauce or ketchup, few tablespoons of soy sauce, handful of fresh corriander, salt.
Make: After separating cauliflower into florets, sprinkle the corn flour and toss in a bowl so it is mildly coated. In a wide pan, use just a tablespoon of oil and pan fry the cauliflower florets, turning delicately for about 10 to 15 minutes. The florets should look crisp and be golden brown in colour. Keep aside in a bowl.
Now using the same wide pan, use another tablespoon of oil and put in the chillies, garlic paste, chopped onion and chopped ginger. Lightly fry then add in the tomato sauce and soy sauce. You may add extra chilly powder and salt at this stage too. When the mixture starts to bubble, add the previously pan friend cauliflower florets, chopped spring onions and toss well. Finally sprinkle the chopped fresh corriander.
Your delicious HEALTHY VERSION OF GOBI MANCHURIAN is ready to enjoy!
