Gobi Manchurian is an Indo-Chinese dish, which served in hotels and restaurants in almost every nook and corner of India.
They are secretly delicious with a hint of sweetness, sourness, and hotness. The sauteed garlic brings enormous aroma to this dish.
Globalization not only brings enormous changes to economies of countries but also gives birth to innovative fusion food dishes.
They are not only becoming famous in their own countries but also invited by the entire world for its unique taste. 'Gobi Manchurian' is one such recipe which is beloved by the entire world.
'Gobi Manchurian' is my son's most favorite dish, he could finish the entire bowl by himself. The same recipe can be transformed into a dry, semi-gravy, gravy version. I love to have a semi-gravy version as the side for Indian flatbread.

How to make Gobi Manchurian
Cut cauliflower into bite-size florets. I like to have smaller size florets for semi gravy, and it is your wish to go for larger size florets.
Dilute 1 tablespoon of cornflour/starch in ½ cup of water and keep aside, we require it in the later stage.
Make a medium consistency paste with cornflour and maida with the little salt. Dip cauliflower florets into this flour paste.
Heat cooking oil in a pan, once the oil becomes hot, add dipped cauliflower florets. And deep fry them by flipping occasionally. Remove it, once they become golden brown and crispy on all the sides.
They get cooked n crispy easily, adjust your flame from high to medium if they getting burnt.
In a pan add a teaspoon of cooking oil followed by chopped garlic. And saute for a minute, or till it becomes soft.
Keep the flame in very low mode, quickly add soya sauce, tomato sauce, green chili sauce, chili garlic sauce.
Add diluted corn starch which we kept aside already. And bring to the boil, and bring the flame to medium. By stirring it continuously, switch off the flame, when it reaches flowing consistency. Check for the taste here and adjust accordingly.
Gently mix deep-fried florets with this gravy, so that the florets get covered with the sauce evenly. And serve hot with roti / flatbread, sandwiches.
