I feel a recipe is only a theme, which an intelligent cook can play each time with a variation. Madam Benoit

People always say the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen , nor touched , nor heard but are felt in the heart . But for food it's all in it's looks, flavours and taste.

Gobi Manchurian




This is a popular starter find in most of the restaurants. This is very easy to prepare at home also. Yesterday I made it for dinner and the taste was simply awesome. The recipe is below

Cauliflower – 10-15 florets
Corn flour - 3 tablespoon
Plain flour – 3 tablespoon
Water – ¼ cup
Chilly powder – 1 tsp
Soya sauce – 1 1/2 tablespoon
Tomato ketchup – 1 1/2 tablespoon
Chopped Spring onions – a few
Chopped green chilies – 2
Chopped capsicum - 1
Ginger garlic paste – ½ tsp
Pepper powder – ½ tsp
Salt to taste
Oil as required

Soak the florets in the boiled water for 10 minutes.
Make a thick batter by mixing corn flour, plain flour, salt and chilly powder.
Dip the florets in batter for 5 minutes.
Deep fry the florets in oil until it becomes golden brown. Keep aside.

Now heat some oil in a pan. Add ginger garlic paste. Sauté for few seconds.
Add onions, capsicum, salt and green chilies. Stir for few seconds.
Add the fried florets. Add pepper powder. Stir well.
Add Soya sauce and tomato ketchup to the left out batter (if there is no left out batter, make it by mixing a tablespoon of corn flour in some water).
Now add this mixture into the pan.
Stir until the florets are fully coated with the thick sauce. Switch off the flame. Garnish with spring onions.
