    Gobi manchurian gravy recipe

    Gobi manchurian gravy recipe - Crispy, deep fried cauliflower florets are added into spicy indian chinese flavored gravy.

    Gobi manchurian gravy recipe (How to make gobi manchurian gravy)

    There are many different varieties of manchurian recipes. I have already shared the veg manchurian and today I am making the same with gobi. For both, gravy is made similarly.

    Here the batter coated cauliflower florets are deep fried. They are very crispy and tasty that I couldn’t resist myself from munching few of them as such before I make and add to the gravy.

    Never fry gobi ahead of time. It should be fried, added to the sauce and served immediately.

    Once fried and let them sit idle then they becomes soft and soggy. Also same goes when added to the gravy. So it must be served right away to get the best taste and texture of it.

    To make the gobi extra crispy, you need to double fry them. This is how gobi manchurian is made in restaurants.

    Of course double frying (meaning frying two times) will absorb more oil. That’s why I do not prefer this method while making at home. Rather I would make and serve right away to enjoy the crispness.

    1) Separate the cauliflower florets into bite size pieces and rinse well. I prefer the medium sized florets unlike huge sized we get in restaurants. Bring around 4 cup of water to rolling boil on medium-high heat. Add big pinch of salt. Once it starts boiling, add florets. Cook for 2-3 minutes only.

    2) Immediately drain the excess water and keep the florets into colander. Let the excess water drain out.

    3) For making batter, take all purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper, ginger and garlic paste.

    4) Make smooth batter by adding about 4-5 tablespoons of water.

    5) Heat the oil in a pan on medium heat for deep frying. Once oil is hot, dip the florets into the batter.

    6) And add into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan, fry in batches.

    7) Keep moving and turning till they get golden brown and crispy from all around.

    8) Drain the excess oil using slotted spatula and remove it to paper towel lined plate. Repeat the frying process for rest.
