Tips

** Clean gobi florets properly and add salt while boiling to avoid pesticides.

** Do not boil gobi for long time, gobi do not taste crunchy if we boil gobi too smooth.

** Make sure to spread boiled gobi on kitchen towel to avoid water in gobi.

** We can also add capsicum at step 5.

** If you are planning to use maida, then add 3/4 cup of maida and 1/4 cup of corn flour(adjust accordingly).

** As we have salt in sauces, take care while adding salt.

** Adjust sauce quantity according to the quantity of gobi you used.

** Soya sauce is must to get perfect taste in manchurian, if you have only red/green chilli no probs use anyone. You can also add schezwan chutney in this. 

** Make sure to serve immediately after preparing manchurian to get crispy and yummy taste.
