Easy Gobi Manchurian!!!

Gobi Manchurian is one of my favorite dishes. Manchurian is basically a Chinese dish.
Gobi Manchurian / Cauliflower Manchurian made dry / with gravy, makes a great snack.

This is not the traditional method where you fry the Gobi. I tried it without frying the Gobi and it turned out just fine.

Ingredients:

  • Cauliflower : 1
  • Onion : 1 (medium)
  • Garlic : 1 -2 pods
  • Ginger : 2" piece
  • Green Chili : 2-3
  • Capsicum : 1
  • Soy sauce : 1 Tbsp
  • Chili sauce : 1 Tsp
  • Tomato sauce : 1 Tbsp
  • Salt : As required
  • Sugar : A pinch or two
  • Oil : 2 Tbsp
  • Corn flour : 1 Tsp
  • Spring onions : 2-3 Shallots
  • Coriander leaves : For garnishing
Method:
  1. Wash and cut the Cauliflower into florets and soak them in water with a pinch of salt.
  2. Chop onion, green chili,garlic, ginger . Wash and cut capsicum into small cubes or thin,long slices.
  3. In a pan heat oil and add the onions, green chili, garlic and ginger. Saute them until the raw smell goes and the onion turns slightly brown.
  4. Add the cauliflower florets and the capsicum, and add a little salt. Cover the pan and stir occasionally.
  5. After the Gobi and capsicum are cooked, add the sauces ,salt & sugar, and mix well.
  6. Mix the corn flour with a little water and add it to the Gobi mix. 
  7. Garnish with Spring onions and Coriander leaves.
