Gobi Manchurian is a popular indo-chinese dish. Cauliflower is coated with a flour batter and fried till crispy. Crispy cauliflower is then tossed in a spicy, sweet and tangy sauce.
Manchurian is a class of Indo-chinese dishes made by roughly chopping and deep-frying ingredient such as chicken, cauliflower (gobi), prawns, fish, mutton, and paneer, and then sautéeing it in a sauce flavored with soy sauce.
Manchurian is the result of the adaptation of Chinese cooking and seasoning techniques to suit Indian tastes. It has become a staple of Indian Chinese cuisine.
Gobi Manchurian is my all time favourite. I make them quite often and each time they turn out great.
This can be made in few minutes and goes well with any indo chinese meal like fried rice or noodles.

Aarthi
@uma nair Fry the gobi and add it to the sauce in the last minute, so they will stay nice and crispy.

Hi Arthi, love your blog! How exactly do you make the red chilli paste? or where do you get it from? You feature it in a lot of you recipes and I was just wondering!
Aarthi
@Anonymous I make my own chilli paste. I will post the recipe soon
Anonymous
I have tried many times to prepare this but i am failing in preparing batter.The cauliflowers are not properly mixup with batter.can you please suggest me the exact ratio of water and thickness of batter?
Aarthi
@Anonymous The batter should not be too thick or too thin. The batter should be a little thin that dosa batter. if your batter is too thick then it will over coat the gobi,if you dunk them in sauce it will go soggy. If the batter is too thin, then there wont be any coating in the gobi. So make the batter inbetween that.
Sneha Borker
Can u pls specify quantity of flour nd cornflour in grams pls dear??
Aarthi

I have tried many receipes from your blog. Every dish turn into perfect one. One quick question how to make red chili paste? Can u say measurements?
Aarthi
@Aparna RajendranMaking red chilli paste is so easy. Take some dry red chillies, soak them in hot water for 15 mins. Drain them and add to blender, blend with some vinegar. Store this in fridge for a month and in freezer for more than a year

Is it possible to make this without deep frying the gobi? i know the taste is best when fried, but as a healthier alternative, for someone who cannot eat fried foods? have you tried it that way?
