Gobi Manchurian gravy recipe or cauliflower Manchurian gravy recipe is a popular Indian street food recipe which is an adaptation to popular Chinese Manchurian cuisine. Manchurian gravy recipes are typically served with other Indo Chinese cuisine rice recipes as a side dish or a gravy.
Basically it is served in two varieties – Gobi Manchurian dry and Gobi Manchurian gravy and it is typically consumed as starter and side dish respectively. Both the variants are prepared with similar ingredients like Gobi florets, corn flour, soy sauce, vinegar but differs with corn starch gravy.
Some important tips and suggestions for a perfect Gobi Manchurian gravy recipe. Firstly, always wash and boil the Gobi florets in water before deep frying it with batter. Secondly, I have used the combination of red chilli sauce + tomato sauce for sweet, tangy and spicy taste. One thing more I never use ajinmoto in any Chinese dish because it is unhealthy, while ajinomoto salt may increase the taste, but I never prefer. Always I complete my dish without ajinomoto.
