Cauliflower Manchurian
I find deep frying a tedious task and a big waste of all the oil that goes with it. Again, anything breaded is a big turn off for me. When I make manchurian, instead of deep frying, I cook the cauliflower until it's 3/4th done in boiling water/salt and to get the crunch with every bite, I broil it on high for a few minutes until its crispy.
I generally do not give out ingredients as in Indian cooking, use your own judgement.
Recipe
- Chop a bunch of cauliflower into big florets.
- Boil water and cook cauliflower until its done 3/4th with salt.
- Pre-heat the broiler on high settings.
- Transfer the cooked florets on to a baking sheet and drizzle olive oil and pepper powder.
- Broil on High for 15 minutes or until the florets turn golden/ crunchy
- Mince 1 big or 2 small onions, a few garlic pods, an inch ginger and some green chilies
- Heat oil in a wok and sautee the minced onions, garlic, green chilies and ginger until onions are translucent.
- Add soy sauce, chilli-garlic sauce and saute for a few more minutes until the raw garlic smell leaves
- Add a cup of water.
- Dissolve starch powder in water and add it to the mixture to thicken it on low heat. Keep stirring.
- Add the crunchy florets and cook for a few minutes.
- Switch off heat and give the cauliflowers a few minutes to soak in the flavor. Garnish with green onions/chives and serve.
