About:

My family loves Manchurian and indo-chinese fusion dishes, which makes to try out new variations. In Manchurian have tried baked variations like mushroom munchurian (link), baby corn manchurian (link), soya nuggets manchurian (link). The missed was gobi manchurian. In this recipe as a variation have tried to combine Broccoli and Cauliflower and opted to bake, then sauted in the Manchurian sauce. This is a dried version of Manchurian. The coated florets can also be shallow fried or deep fried in pan.

Here I used gram flower and corn starch for the batter however plain flour can also be used.

Enjoy this as an appetizer. I served this with brown chickpea-capsicum Spaghetti (link) or can also be enjoyed with fried rice (link)

Both broccoli and cauliflower contain glucosinolates – compounds containing sulfer that are found only in cruciferous vegetables. Eating glucosinolates might help lower your risk of cancer, according to the Linus Pauling Institute.
