Ingredients
  • 1 cauliflower
  • 4 T all purpose flour
  • 4 T corn flour
  • 2 T soy sauce
  • 2 T red chilli sauce/sriracha chili garlic
  • 1 T green chili paste
  • 1 t ginger paste
  • 1 t garlic paste
  • 1 T vinegar
  • 1 c cilantro chopped
  • 6 green chiilies
  • 3 curry leaves
  • pn ajinomoto/msg
  • salt to taste
  • 1⁄2 T red pepper flakes
Instructions
  1. Wash the cauliflower in salt water after breaking it apart in florets and set aside.
  2. Make a marinade of ginger, garlic, cilantro, ½ of the green chilies, soy sauce, vinegar, red chilli sauce, green chilli paste and salt. Mix this marinade thoroughly with cauliflower and set aside for 1 hr ( you may use spoons/ spatulas in mixing it well to avoid burning your fingers with the spicy marinade! ) Before deep frying the cauliflower, add the corn flour, all purpose flour, green chillies, red pepper flakes, curry leaves, and ajinomoto*(optional) . Do check the consistency of spices and sauces and add more if required. Deep fry in warm oil.
  3. This fried cauliflowers are sometimes further sautéed in a Manchurian sauce of similar ingredients as the marinade. But, if you prefer crispy fritters, skip this step.
Notes
*Ajinomoto/MSG- This flavor enhancing ingredient is controversial for itd side effects and can be avoided. This recipe is about 15 years old when msg was not controversial!
