GOBI MANCHURIAN

Gobi Manchurian image

This is one of my favorite gobi (cauliflower) recipes, and available at many Indian restaurants. A spicy Asian dish that's sure to leave your family wanting more! Occasionally, I even love to bake the cauliflower to lower the calories. Keep in mind, baking will take away from the crispiness of fried cauliflower.

Ingredients

oil for deep frying
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons cornmeal
⅓ cup water
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ teaspoon salt, or to taste
15 cauliflower florets
¾ cup vegetable stock, divided
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 tablespoon soy sauce

salt to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ cup chopped onion
1 green chile pepper, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger

Steps:

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Mix flour, cornmeal, water, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl to make a thick batter. Toss in cauliflower florets and mix until coated.
Deep fry cauliflower a few florets at a time until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
Mix 1/4 cup vegetable stock with cornmeal in a bowl. Add soy sauce, ketchup, chile-garlic sauce, and salt.
Heat oil in a wok or frying pan over high heat. Add onions, chile pepper, garlic, and ginger and stir-fry for a few seconds. Add cornmeal mixture and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add remaining vegetable stock and cook until very thick, about 10 minutes. Remove sauce from heat.
Spoon sauce over fried cauliflower and toss slightly. Garnish with green onions and serve.
