Gobi Manchurian dry – Cauliflower Manchurian dry
Posted by on Mar 25, 2008 in Veggie Entrees & Sides
Last weekend I went to a party in my friend’s house and Gobi Manchurian was one of the starters. It was awesome and just the way they make it in restaurants. This is one of the famous starters in India and it is delicious, spicy and dry. I always wanted to try it but didn’t get a good recipe. Now that I got a recipe, I tried it and it really came out well. I shared it with my husband and friends. They loved it. Here you go….
Ingredients I:
- Cauliflower florets – 4 cups
- Chopped onion – 1 cup
- Green chilly – 2
- Green onions – 1/4 cup
- Green bell pepper – 1/2
- Finely chopped garlic – 2 tsp
- Finely chopped ginger – 1 tsp
- Coriander leaves – a few
- Red chilly powder – 1 tsp
- Soy sauce – 2 tbsp
- Green chilly sauce – 2 tbsp
- Tomato sauce – 3 tbsp
- Oil – 2 tbsp
- Salt to taste
Ingredients II (Preparation of cauliflower fritters):
- All purpose flour/Maida – 1/2 cup
- Corn flour – 6 tsp
- Finely chopped garlic – 1/2 tsp
- Finely chopped ginger – 1/2 tsp
- Red chilly powder – 3/4 tsp
- Salt to taste
- Oil to fry
Method of Preparation:
- Cut the cauliflower into medium size florets and add it to the boiling water and leave it for 4-5 minutes
- Remove from heat before it gets overcooked and then drain the water. Keep it aside
- Make a thin batter with water using the ingredients II except oil
- Heat oil in a deep bottom pan
- Now dip the florets in the batter and drop it in oil. It should be golden brown
- Like this repeat the process with the rest of the florets
- Turn both the sides and fry. Leave enough space between the florets while frying
- Keep them aside
- In a wide pan, heat 2 tbsp of oil
- Add onions and fry till they become translucent
- Now add the ginger and garlic and saute
- Now add the chopped green chillies, green onions, chopped bell pepper and toss for a few seconds
- After that add the red chilly powder and salt
- Combine them together and keep on frying till you get rid of the raw smell
- The bell pepper should be soft and crispy
- Add soy sauce, green chilly sauce, tomato sauce and 3 to 4 tbsp of water. Combine them
- Now add the fried cauliflower to it and toss it carefully till the masala sticks to the cauliflower
- Add water if required. Leave it for 5 mins
- Remove from heat and garnish with coriander and green onions
Serve hot as a starter. You can also take it with Chappathy/Fried Rice

Hi,
Thank you so much. I tried this recipe it was very good. My husband loved it. I have one doubt. How to keep the bell pepper cripsy. Mine was not that crispy.
Keep posting recipe like this.
hi its nice i tried it in my home its delecious and wonderfull
Is tomato sauce the same as ketchup? And is corn flour the same as corn starch? Where can I get the green chili sauce?
Hey, i just tried it. It came out good. Thanks for the recipe
its awesome just made it…but in rec II try to add garam masala test really yummy
hey hi i don’t have maida can we use some thing else instead of maida ??
Hi Anusha, If you don’t have maida, you can try it with a thin batter of besan flour (gram flour). But maida will taste better.
Hi Ramya, glad u liked it. And when the bell pepper is half cooked, add the sauces and cauliflower. when u keep it for 5 mins with the cauliflower it will be almost cooked and crispy.
Hi xxxxx, Thanks for the comments.
Hi Tejal, Tomato sauce is same as ketchup. Corn flour is same as corn starch. You get this green chilly sauce in the Chinese grocery aile in any global store or regular store. I bought ching’s brand.
Hi Jayashree, I am glad u liked it.
Thanks kru. I will try it next time.
My daughter (12yr old) and I cooked this together and had lot of fun- the family loved it. Great recipe definitely a repeat. I just didnt have spring onions on hand but I’m sure we got the essence anyway. Thanks !!

I tried the recipe yesterday and it turned out very good, thanks for sharing.
Hey Nithu,
I love gobhi manchruian. I tried it first time in a restaiurant called Udipi in Westerville, Ohio. I just love it. I tried your way… it tasted really good. But I added the gobi pakoras just 5 minutes before serving in the hot gravy. That kept my gobi really crisp. I enjoyed it.
Keep posting…
Hi,
Planning to make this tonight for about 10 family members who are coming over. I’m sure the dish based on your recipe, will come out well. Shall keep you informed. Thanks for the recipe.
HI! Hithu,
I had invited my newly wed niece and her husband over for dinner this week. My niece likes gobi manchurian. I wanted to cook this dish, but wanted an easy yet tasty recipe to follow and tried your recipe. It was delicious! Thanks A LOT for sharing. I was truly amazed with the result. I added one additional tablespoon of tomato ketchup as it tasted slightly salty. Will do it again for another gathering real soon……
Recommend with confident..
Hi Nithu..
Thanks a lot for sharing this.!!! the recipe is very easy and the i will surely try it out…:-)
Hi Nithu,
. The best thing about this recipe is that you haven’t mentioned any unknown ingredients used to make it. Its just so relieving to me since I am just a beginner cook and beleive in keeping it simple and quick. I am planning to make it along with Chinese fried rice to go with it for my next party and surprise everyone with my culinary skills 
. Thanks for posting this recipe!
What a delicious recipe! Looks great and I am sure it will taste greater
Hi Nithu…I just tried this recipe today and it came out really well! I actually did double the quantity and the proportions were perfect! Only thing is I prepared it in the morning and by evening, the crispiness of the cauliflower was gone..it was a lil soggy but still my hubby enjoyed it! I guess next time I will add the cauliflower just before serving.
Thanks a lot for the recipe!
