Gobhi Manchurian

Gobhi Manchurian

Winters! Season of fresh cauliflowers is around the corner.We normally make Gobhi Manchurian in ball form,means a grated mixture of cauliflower with some onions and garlic made in a round shape,but i have tried my hands on cauliflower florets and believe me they were crispy,crunchy and tangy.People do make manchurian made up of minced chicken,mixed vegetable or soya manchurian too but this cauliflower one is too yum and was loved by my family.

I have added  sliced onions,capsicum and spring onions in a good quantity,as i have not made a runny sauce.This sauce is thick and i have maintained the crispiness of the vegetables .
You can try this delicious appetiser in your evening snack party or on your Special Sundays too with your family and friends.
