Gobi 65 and gobi manchurian dry, both are my family favourite. So where ever we go, we search for any on of the above in the menu card. Now a days Indian Wok is our favourite eat out, and the reason being they serve best gobi manchurian that is really dry. It will be crisp, still juicy and we all are now big fans of this one. Aj is just crazy about it. I tried my best to try it out at home, the only thing I could not get is to maintain the crispiness. But still my family enjoys my version of the dish.

Method
- Clean the cauliflower by keeping it immersed in hot water with salt for 10 minutes. This way, its also being parboiled.Make a batter with corn flour, all purpose flour and cooking soda, thick enough to coat the cauliflowers. You can either dip the well drained florets one by one in the batter or just mix all of it with the drained florets and deep fry. Just make sure there is enough batter to coat the florets. Deep fry until crisp and light.Keep aside.
- In a wide pan, add 3 tblsp oil and add chopped garlic. Give a quick stir and then add finely chopped white part of the spring onion and the chopped onion and fry till transparent. Add both sauces, salt, sugar, pepper and mix well.
- Add the deep fried cauliflower florets and toss well to mix it evenly. Lastly add finely chopped green part of the spring onion and mix well for a minute.
Notes
- Adding lots of garlic and pepper adds flavor to this dish.
- You can also add some capsicum and chopped coriander leaves for extra flavour.
- Finely chopped ginger can be replaced with garlic.
Serve hot immediately as starter or with any Chinese style rice / noodles….!

Nice clicks! I have a tip to make it crisp too, in case you want to try it out sometime…
Mix up some cornflour to water to buttermilk consistency and in the last step, on high heat, just add it to the gravy + cauliflower and give the whole thing a whirl for a minute or 2. This makes it crisp like at restaurants! Tip: The flame should be really high that you should get that sound as soon as you pour that corn flour water!
delicious dish, my all time favorite 🙂
nice recepie surei try
Fantastic and tempting manchurians……

We Tried today, Its superb yaa…
Thank you sooo much for adding taste to our life.
To keep it crispy make the sauce before frying the veggies. Then when the veggies are cooked reheat the sauce. This way it will still be crispy.
mouth watering 🙂 well presented 🙂
The picture itself making me drool…
to make them crisp a bit of rice flour is added to batter
tried it at home..It as awesome !!
hii. i m new to kitchen.. bt daily i cook tryin ur recipies nd it comes just gr88!!!!!! today i did gobi 65 nd came fabulous nd mouth waterin.. nd al ur pics r very temptin too 🙂
Raji,why can't you try rice flour instead of corn flour?i think you can get the cauliflower crispier.

What can I use instead of cornflour?
Rice flour
can we avoid soya sauce, as i'm having hyputhyroid
Yes you can avoid, but will you use other sauces?
Using corn starch instead of corn flour will give you that extra crispiness. 🙂
By corn flour I mean the white corn starch only 🙂
Hi Raks , When I fried cauliflower it is sticking to the bottom of the kadai , the coating get seperated when I tried to take.. what may be the reason ?
Did you parboiled? To avoid this, before dipping to the batter, coat the cauliflower with some dry flour (either maida or cornflour) and then dip the batter. Also make sure the oil is in right temperature.
