Air-Fryer Gobi Manchurian (Indian Chinese Cauliflower) image

Welcome to Chinese food that the Chinese have not even heard of! When the Hakka people migrated to India, they adapted their recipes to work with locally available ingredients. Thus was born Indian Chinese cooking. In the traditional recipe, the cauliflower is battered and deep-fried. But really, most of the taste is in the sauce, not the batter. This version is as tasty, but a lot less greasy than a typical Gobi Manchurian.
