Gobi Manchurian is a popular Indo-Chinese appetizer or snack made with batter-coated and pan-fried crispy cauliflower florets tossed in a spicy, umami, savory sauce made with alliums, herbs, spices, soy sauce, and tomato ketchup. It is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder

• 1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
• 1 green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup tomato ketchup
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 tablespoon chili sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, chili powder, ginger garlic paste, salt, and pepper. Add the water and whisk until smooth.
2. Dip the cauliflower florets in the batter and coat evenly.
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Fry the cauliflower florets until golden brown and crispy.
4. Remove the cauliflower florets from the oil and drain on paper towels.
5. In a small bowl, combine the onion, garlic, ginger, bell peppers, soy sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, chili sauce, sugar, and black pepper.

Tips:

• For a spicier gobi Manchurian, add more red chili powder to the batter or the sauce mixture.
• If you don't have cornstarch, you can substitute all-purpose flour.
• You can also add other vegetables to the sauce mixture, such as carrots, mushrooms, or snow peas.
• Gobi Manchurian can be served with rice, noodles, or as a snack.
