    Gobi Manchurian

     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     swathik is considering making this dish for her Thanksgiving - MparkCNN, CNN iReport producer

    Gobi Manchurian is a popular Indo-Chinese dish. Indian Chinese cuisine is an adaptation of Chinese seasoning and cooking techniques to suit Indian taste.Why an adaptation? Simple really, over a century ago a small Chinese community found themselves in Kolkota and they developed new dishes combining the best of both worlds. One of my favorites is Gobi Manchurian. Gobi means Cauliflower and this dish is fried cauliflower fritters tossed in a spicy gravy. Its a delicious appetizer for a thanksgiving meal.


    Ingredients:

    1 medium cauliflower florets
    2 cups all-purpose flour
