Gobi Manchurian Dry Recipe | Indo-Chinese Cuisine
Written by Jayashree

Gobi manchurian is a popular Indo-Chinese appetizer. Cauliflower pieces are deep fried and sauted in a mixture of sauces to give a flavoursome dish.

Chinese dishes have gained immense popularity in our country. They are an amalgamation of Chinese flavours to suit the Indian taste buds, now popularly termed as Indo- Chinese. Many dishes are prepared in this cuisine, but, one snack that always stands out is Gobi Manchurian. It is the hot  favourite of college students, street food, that is found at all joints.

It is usually served as an appetiser or starter , but can be paired with fried rice or schezwan rice. Different kinds of manchurian are prepared such as baby corn manchurian and mixed vegetable manchurian. But, it is the one made of cauliflower that has gained immense popularity. “Gobi” is the Hindi name for cauliflower. Cauliflower has a pungent odour, but when made into fritters, and drizzled in sauces, it gives a distinctive taste that no other veggie can impart.
