Ingredients
  

Crispy Cauliflower Florets

  • 2 - 2.5 cups cauliflower cut in florets about 20 -22 florets
  • cup All purpose flour maida
  • ¼ cup corn starch
  • 2 teaspoon ginger garlic paste minced ginger and garlic
  • 2 teaspoon red chilli powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • water as required

Manchurian Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon ginger minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • ¼ cup bell pepper green bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Red chilli sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha Sauce
  • 2 tablespoon coriander/cilantro leaves finely chopped
  • salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoon Cornstarch (to make a slurry)
  • Sesame seeds to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Clean and cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets. Discard the water and drain completely.
  • In a large pot boil enough water (leaving enough space to submerge cauliflower florets) and add salt to it. Blanch the cauliflowers in the salted boiling water for about 8 minutes.
  • Drain and dry the cauliflower florets
  • In a large bowl, combine cornstarch, all-purpose flour, ginger-garlic paste, red chilli powder, and salt, and pepper. Add water little by little to form a not-too-thick, not-too-thin lump-free batter.
  • Add Cauliflower florets into this batter and toss to coat.
  • Heat up enough oil in a frying pan. Once the oil is hot, gently slide the florets one by one and deep fry them till crispy and golden in colour on medium heat.
