• ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder
• ¼ to ½ teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 5 to 6 tablespoons of Puvi Cold Pressed Sesame Oil for pan frying
• ¾ cup chopped spring onion (scallion whites) - reserve the greens for garnish
• ½ cup finely chopped capsicum (green bell pepper)
• 3 teaspoons finely chopped ginger
• 3 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped green chilies
• ½ tablespoon finely chopped celery (optional)
• 1.5 tablespoons light soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup or as required
• ½ teaspoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
• ¼ to ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. How to Prepare Cauliflower Florets:

   • Start by breaking or chopping the cauliflower into medium-sized florets.
   • In a pot, bring water to a boil and add salt.
   • Rinse the cauliflower florets and blanch them in the hot water for 15 to 20 minutes.
   • Drain the florets and set them aside.

2. Pan Frying the Cauliflower Florets:

   • In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, corn starch, soy sauce, black pepper powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to form a smooth batter.
   • Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated.
   • Heat Puvi Cold Pressed Sesame Oil in a pan for frying.
   • Fry the batter-coated cauliflower florets in the hot oil, flipping them to ensure even frying until they turn light golden.
   • Remove the florets from the pan and drain them on a kitchen paper towel. Repeat for the remaining florets, frying them in batches.

3. Making Gobi Manchurian Dry:

   • In the same pan, sauté the finely chopped ginger, garlic, and green chilies until the raw aroma dissipates.
   • Add the chopped spring onions, capsicum, and celery (if using) to the pan. Stir-fry until the capsicum is half cooked or almost cooked.
   • Stir in the light soy sauce, tomato ketchup, black pepper powder, and salt. Mix well.
   • Add the pan-fried cauliflower florets to the pan and coat them thoroughly with the spiced sauce.
   • Finally, add the white vinegar and stir well. Turn off the heat.
   • Garnish the Dry Gobi Manchurian with spring onion greens before serving.
