Cauliflower Manchurian

It's kinda Indo Chinese dish which I wanted so bad so past few days so finally I gathered strength (I don't like frying) and taddaaaa....:D



ALL YOU NEED:

1/2 Cauliflower's Florets
3 tsp CornFlour/ corn starch
5-6 tsp All purpose flour
oil to fry
Salt to taste

FOR THE SAUCE:
1 tsp each Ginger and Garlic paste
3 tsp Tomato Ketchup
1-2 tsp Chili sauce (depending on how hot u want)
2 tsp hot and sweet sauce/ tamarind sauce
1 tsp soya sauce
1 tsp vinegar
3 stems of Spring onions chopped
4-5 tsp chopped onion
2-3 tsp chopped green bell pepper
Salt & pepper to taste

METHOD:

For the batter, Add cornstarch and all purpose flour with salt...


 Now slowly add room temperature water to mix it into a not too thick and not too thin batter...


Make sure there are no lumps...:D


I always pre-boil the cauliflower just to be sure it's safe to eat..:D Just add some water and florets in a bowl and pop it into the oven for 4-5 min..;)


 Once done add the cauliflower into the batter or dip one at a time in the batter and fry...


Remember to fry it on a medium heat so that it's cooked from the inside too...:D


Fry until Golden brown from both sides..:D


TIP: Take out the cauliflower on a high flame so that it soaks minimum amount of oil...
Keep it aside on a paper towel and prepare the sauce... 



FOR THE SAUCE:

Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan and add ginger garlic paste...


Cook for about 10-20 seconds and add onions, saute until translucent...:D


 Add the Green bell peppers...:D


Cook for about a min and add the sauce...:)



Stir in soya sauce and vinegar


TIP: I added the cauliflower when I was ready to serve my dish that way it remains crispy...:)
Add the cauliflower and mix it well in the sauce..:D



Garnish with Spring onions...:D



And it's ready to be served with Fried Rice or Veggie Noodles..:D
