Gobi manchurian
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gobhi Manchurian is an Indian Chinese fried cauliflower

food item popular in India.[1]
Gobi Manchurian is the result of the adaptation of Chinese
cooking and seasoning techniques to suit Indian tastes. It is
believed to have been originally developed by a small
Chinese community which lived in Kolkata for a century. In
its two stage preparation, the first stage requires preparing a
spiced corn flour batter, dipping cauliflower florets in it and
deep frying them. In the second stage, the deep fried florets
are sauted with chopped onion, capsicum, garlic, etc. in
soy and chili sauce.
Gobi Manchurian
There are two different variants of it, dry and with gravy.
Both variants are prepared by using common ingredients
like cauliflower, corn flour, maida flour, spring onion, capsicum, soy sauce, chili sauce, minced garlic, ground
pepper, etc. and has typical garnish of spring onion. Few recipes even call for use of Ajinomoto (MSG) to
increase the taste profile however many prefer to avoid it due to health reasons. Its taste can vary from mild
spicy to hot and fiery based on the recipe and personal preference.
