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.
