GOBI MANCHURIAN/CAULIFLOWER MANCHURIAN-FRYING AND BAKING METHOD

Gobi manchurian is a special dish for all vegetarians,nothing like that can go well with fried rice or with any indian bread.After coming to US, i was not able to have this dish with perfect taste and finally decided to try it out myself and i got this recipe(frying method) from one of my friend ...I love this one  and hope u guys too will enjoy it a lot..

As the oil consumed by this dish is more,we may resist our temptations in having this,one day i decided to bake it with same ingredients,as i didnt have much oil to deep fry it.It came out really well and my my husband didnt even beleive it was baked.

Enjoy having it!!!
