4. Now add Soya sauce, vinegar, tomato sauce and hot chili sauce to it. Mix it well and add 3 tbsp hot water.

Non-fry Version of Gobi Manchurian:

Mix maida (all purpose flour), Corn starch, Salt, Black pepper and Haldi in a bowl and add cauliflower florets. Now toss the bowl so all florets will be well coated. Set aside for 15-20 minutes.

In a pan, heat the oil and shallow fry the florets till they turn golden brown on the tips.

Now follow step 3 to step 5 of  regular version to make Manchurian sauce.

How to make Gravy gobi Manchurian:

To eat with Fried rice, instead of making dry gobi Manchurian, gravy one will be more delicious.
