   MMMMM--------------------------GARNISH-------------------------------   
              Scallions; green parts,   
              - chopped   
      
     Cauliflower Fritters:   
      
     Cut the cauliflower florets into halves or quarters. Wash thoroughly   
     under running water & let the water drain.   
      
     Meanwhile, in your fryer let the oil heat up. In a bowl, throughly   
     mix all the ingredients listed to make a smooth batter. Dip the gobi   
     florets in the paste and deep fry on low-medium heat until golden   
     brown. Drain on paper towel. Set aside. Let the fritters stay warm in   
     the oven while you make the sauce.   
      
     I do not boil the cauliflower before frying. Do not fry the florets   
     on very high heat else they will be raw from inside.   
      
     Manchurian Sauce:   
      
     In a small bowl, whisk together soya sauce, tomato-chilli sauce &   
     honey. Set aside. In another bowl, mix corn starch & water and let   
     stand.   
      
     In a wok/pan, heat up the oil to smoking hot. Add chopped garlic &   
     ginger and cook for 1 minute or until you smell the aroma. Next add   
     the chopped scallions (white part) & red onion and cook for 2 to 3   
     minutes or until light brown in color. Add the coriander & turmeric   
     powder next along with the soya sauce mix made earlier. Simmer for   
     another 2 to 3 minutes on medium-high heat or until you see bubbles   
     on the sides. Next, add the corn starch mix to the wok. Reduce the   
     heat to low and let everything simmer for another 2 to 4 minutes   
     until the sauce thickens.   
      
     Next, taste & adjust the salt in the sauce. Sprinkle the garam masala   
     & vinegar to the wok and stir everything well. Remove from heat and   
     add the fried cauliflower to the pan & very gently toss so that the   
     florets are evenly coated. Dont stir too much with spoon at this   
     point, else cauliflower gets mushy.   
      
     Garnish with chopped green scallions & serve immediately.   
      
     Notes:   
      
     Substitute dark soya sauce with tamari.   
      
     Adding tomato-chilli sauce adds extra heat, you can substitute with   
     plain tomato ketchup of choice.
