  • 2 tbsp green chili paste
  • 1/2 bunch coriander leaves, chopped finely

Method

  • In a large bowl,combine the chapati atta , rice flour, 1/2 cup cornflour,baking powder, salt, soy sauce, 1 tablespoon garlic/ginger paste, 1 tsp chili powder, turmeric powder and 1 tablespoon green chili paste.
  • Mix well with water, till you get the consistency of thin batter.
  • Dip the cauliflower flowerets in this batter and deep fry in oil, drain and set aside.
  • In a open pan, add some oil and when it smokes add the remaining garlic and ginger paste.
  • The minute it starts turning brown, add the chopped onions and fry only till they start becoming translucent.
  • Now add the chopped garlic and green chili paste and fry for a minute.
  • Add the soy sauce and stir for a minute.
  • Bring down the heat and then add the cornflour-water paste and the red coloring.
  • The mixture will start to thicken……keep on stirring on low heat and when the mixture turns thick enough, add the chopped coriander leaves and stir for 20 seconds.
  • The leaves should not lose their color.
  • Take this mixture from the heat and pour it onto the fried cauliflower.
  • If you desire, you can add the cauliflower when the mixture is in the pan itself in the last stage.
  • But this will turn the cauliflower soggy.. It all depends on how you like to eat the Cauliflower Manchurian…soft or crispy…
