Gobi Manchurian

This is the easiet recipe of all times and proof that you do not need 50 ingredients and 5 hrs of cooking to make something taste good. very simple and yet lots of flavor. this is what you need -

Cauliflower(cut into medium sized pieces)

To make batter -

1 cup maida/all pupose four
2-3 tsps corn flour
pepper powder
food color/kesari powder color(optional)
salt

For the curry -

3/4 cup of Ketchup
2-3 tsps of soy sauce
garlic
ginger
Spring Onions cut into small pieces

Make the batter with the ingredients said above. Make it a little bit thick batter so that you will have a thicker coating on the cauliflower. Dip the cauliflower in the batter and deep fry them(this is the part that takes a little longer since the cauliflower needs to cook fully). Once you have deep fried all the cauliflower, put them again in the oil and deep fry them for a second time. this time, you just need to leave them about 5 secs in the oil. Frying them again will make the cauliflower more crispy and saty that way for a longer time. Set these aside. In a frying pan, add a little oil and put the garlic and ginger and immediately put the ketchup and soysauce. No need to add salt. Keep these in high flame for about 15 secs and then add the deep fried cauliflower. Just mix them and add the Spring onions. Mix them together and Gobi Manchurian is ready! this is a very good appetizer, but will go good with Chapathi too if you put a little bit more ketchup and soy sauce. enjoy!
