Recipes Gobi Manchurian
Gobi Manchurian is a popular dish in Indian Chinese cuisine. It is made by first marinating sliced cauliflower (gobi) in a mixture of flour, cornstarch, and spices, and then deep-frying until golden brown. The fried cauliflower is then stir-fried with a flavorful sauce made from soy sauce, chili sauce, and tomato paste, along with garlic, ginger, and green onions. The dish is usually served with rice or noodles. Here is a basic recipe Gobi Manchurian:
Ingredients:
