Description

Gobi Manchurian is one of the most loved Indo-Chinese dishes, celebrated for its bold flavors and satisfying texture. This dish features cauliflower florets that are battered and deep-fried until perfectly crispy, then tossed in a savory and tangy Manchurian sauce made with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, chili sauce, and a touch of vinegar. The sauce clings to each floret, creating a flavorful coating that’s spicy, slightly sweet, and umami-rich.

There are two popular variations of Gobi Manchurian: dry, which is typically served as a starter or snack, and gravy, which pairs well with fried rice or noodles. The dish is a staple in many Indian restaurants and street food stalls, often garnished with spring onions for a fresh, zesty finish. With its perfect balance of crunch and sauce, Gobi Manchurian continues to be a favorite among both vegetarians and lovers of Indo-Chinese cuisine.
