Gobi Manchurian can be served as an appetizer or part of a multi-course meal. It is a nice balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavor. Try out this recipe if you are making a Chinese cuisine or it can be served simply with rice as well. As I’m sitting to write this down, I am wondering, why do we call the Cauliflower ‘Gobi’ in this part of the world. Or for that matter why is it even called a ‘Cauli’ flower. Cauli apparently means Cabbage in Latin. Surely it does not look like a ‘cabbage-flower’! I suppose I will never know why. It’s the same thing when I wondered why Fish Molly was called… well, molly!
All that said, I have to say that Gobi 65 is a delectable little starter. It’s not really spicy despite what it’s name suggests. The Cauliflower is such an underrated vegetable plant. It is rich with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, especially vitamin C and Vitamin B and Magnesium It’s one of those vegetables that helps keep cancer cells at bay. If cooked right, the Cauliflower is one of the best things you can consume for your health.
But all that said, I’m not entirely sure if Gobi 65 is going to be good enough for the health conscious, because it is after all fried in oil. ;) This is a fairly easy recipe and it doesn’t take a lot of time. But, it’s a dish that needs to be consumed as soon as it is made. The cauliflower will emit water content as it sits and the fried and crispy pieces will eventually turn soft as it cools down. So, if you intend on making this for guests, I suggest making the sauce first and keeping the batter and cauliflower cleaned and cut, so that you can simply fry them to a crisp and throw them into the sauce directly just before serving.
