    Love recipes like this. So many appealing flavors mixed together. Also, most of the ingredients are already in the kitchen, which makes me happy. Can you make it early and roast in the oven to serve?

    • @devayondas
      @devayondas 2 роки тому +5

      If you have an air fryer or convection oven you can heat up the fried gobi, and toss it in some heated sauce right before serving. Wouldn’t suggest refrying or microwaving it though. We also sometimes play around with the flour vs cornstarch ratio to tweak the crispness

    If you're lucky enough to live in a community with an Asian presence and can get the long stem Asian cauliflower, do it. Both cauliflower are good but the long stem just lends itself better to dishes like this one. Also, try using rice flour instead of the regular flour. Rice flour doesn't absorb moisture so makes a much crisper crust.
    I am making this for dinner tonight. Yummy.

  • @Dunixify
    @Dunixify 2 роки тому

    I can never find the quality of Manchurian at any restaurant in America I've tried it compared to the cheap 10 rupee bowls I'd get at my school cafeteria in Hyderabad growing up... it's never crispy enough, always mushy. And the sauce is rarely hot enough, usually more sweet and sour than I'd like. A big factor for crispiness is not having too big of pieces of florets.
    edit: also, it's definitely a side/snack and not a main. It's roughly analogous to pakoras

    • @Dunixify
      @Dunixify 2 роки тому

      If you're trying yourself, I'd try to get the florets more evenly sized (his smaller florets are perfect imo), and maybe fry them for a bit longer to get them crispier

  • @rachs57
    @rachs57 2 роки тому

    It is imperative you let the oil reach the proper high heat before frying; even so my cauliflower came out too soft and by the time I dressed it in the sauce and served it, it was warm and mush. I don' know how to correct this, but just be aware of the pitfalls.

      The only China town left is in Calcutta but before the 1962 war quite few Indian cities had China towns. During the war all people of Chinese descent were rounded up and taken into a camp in Rajasthan. When the war ended they were released but this had destroyed their communities and most of them started migrating out of India
