Gobhi Manchurian

Gobhi is one of my least preferred vegetables, it's mainly because of the odor when it's being cooked. Gobhi is much more palatable in the form of manchurian. May be it's the flour coating that supress the smell of gobhi or the sauces. It's my family's all time favourite appetizer.




Ingredients:

Gobhi - 1 (below are the measurements for a large Gobhi)
Salt - as required
All-purpose flour - 1/2 cup
Corn flour - 1/2 cup
Rice flour - 1/4 cup
Ginger-Garlic paste - 2 table spoons
Chilli powder - as required
Warm water - as required
Oil - for deep frying

• Cut the gobhi into florets. Wash and soak the florets in a hot salt water for 10mins.
• In a bowl, mix all the flours and ginger-garlic paste. Add chilli powder and salt as required. Using warm water mix all the above ingredients until it forms a thick batter (it should be like a bajji batter).
• Heat oil in a pan. Dip the gobhi florets in the batter and fry them in oil. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the gobhi is fried well. Place the fried pieces on a paper towel to absorb the oil.
