Hey does any one know how to make Gobi manchurian- a friends relative was visiting from Bangalore and made this for us and it was to die for! She is gone, wish i had taken the recipe. Dont want the online recipes, tried 2 from google searches and it wasnt even close.
Re: Indian recipe?
Oh, I had this recently at a Thanksgiving lunch. It was out of this world. The guy who made it was a chef and it was divine! He served it as an appetizer though, so it was more like pakoray, there was no gravy. He wouldn’t give up the recipe though 
What recipe did you get online? Here’s the one I got, I haven’t tried it yet, but it sounds about right to me.
cauliflower florets; Tandoori Masala (Badshah or Shaan packets); ginger-garlic paste; half cup all purpose flour (maida); quarter cup corn flour; salt to taste.
- Make a batter with maida and corn flour, ginger-garlic paste, tandoori masala and salt. Marinate the cauliflower florets in it for 10 mins.
- Deep fry the cauliflower florets
Maybe I will try it out tonight now that you’ve reminded me.
Re: Indian recipe?
Namkeen: I think the one soorajmukhi is talking about is in gravy. What you have described is more like cauliflower pakoras.
Re: Indian recipe?
Yes I know, but I don't have a good recipe for Manchurian with the gravy. Ab tum hi bata do.
Re: Indian recipe?
I went to an IndoChinese halal place for dinner last night with some friends, we ordered Gobhi Manchurian. It was delicious. I also had chicken Mo Mo, which was a lot like Afghani Mantu and Hakka Noodles, Lollypop Chicken and some thai style soups.
Re: Indian recipe?
Thanks namkeen- i will try it out this weekend :)
Re: Indian recipe?
sooraj-mukhi, I made the cauliflower pakoray this afternoon, they were good. Of course, very different from the gobhi manchurian I had the other day. Let me know if you've got a recipe for that.
Re: Indian recipe?
Here is the recipe for gobi munchurian that I jotted down from the TV today
Take one whole cauliflower and break into florets.
In a bowl make a paste of the following, 2 eggs, 2 tbs cornflour, and salt to taste, mix in the florets and marinate for a couple of minutes.
Deep fry the florets and put aside on tissue paper
In a fry pan add cooking oil (2 chamach), add 1 tbs garlic paste and fry, then add a bowl of ketchup, 1tsp white pepper, 1 tsp black pepper, add a bowl of chicken broth, add two tablespoon pinapple juice, add 1 tsp sugar (she used brown sugar I think).
After the sauce comes to a boil add 1 tsp cornflour mixed with water, add green pepper 4 whole, and add like 2 tbs pineapple cubes, then add the gobi put the lid and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
Serve with boiled rice.
Enjoy, I think this is what you wanted.
Re: Indian recipe?
OOh this sounds yummy marium, i think i will skip the ketchup for chilli garlic sauce and add a tad bit of soy sauce for the chinese flavour also...
