I made this. and the florets remained white in colour after deep frying. Not sure why they would not turn brown.
Response: Hi Meena, you need to fry them a few minutes more or until they turn light brown.

Besan can be used instead of maida to make florets.

I added capsicum as well, after adding the sauces and chillies in Step 3 while making the gravy. I didn't have spring onions, but it turned out really well.

Hey,
Can you suggest me the substitute of corn flour or corn meal. Can I use the wheat flour or besan instead of corn flour?
Response: Hi Sakshi, cornflour means corn starch (not corn meal) is used in this recipe. You cannot use anything else instead of it in this recipe.

Just loved this recipe. My whole family loved it. I made it little thicker than what you have shown here, still it came out well. Thank you so much for this recipe. :)
Response: Hi Sruthi, thanks for trying the recipe. The gravy will turn thick when it cools down. You can adjust the amount of water (in step-3) according to make the thick or thin gravy of your choice.

Hi, I made both type of Gobi Manchurian, Dry and Gravy, dry version turned out fabulous but the gravy version turned out the opposite. It was worst. I couldn't explain how bad it was. I followed every single direction and amount of stuffs exactly the way you mentioned. Eventually, I ended up with gravy similar to yogurt (in terms of thickness) and florets were extremely soggy. Not a bit crunchy/crispy (even though I fried them twice, as mentioned by you), gravy was tasteless and it had raw cornstarch smell in it (even though I cooked it well).
Please help!! Where did I go wrong?
Could you please tell? Thank you.
Response: Hi, I am so sorry to hear that it didn't come out well. There could be many reasons for it.
1. Did you add the hot water or normal cold (or warm) water while making gravy? If you use normal cold water, you need to cook gravy for longer duration (before adding florets).
2. For making cauliflower florets crispy, deep fry them on medium flame and as mentioned in the last tips in tips section , add florets into gravy just before serving. This will preserve their crispiness. They turned to become soggy as they absorb the water from gravy.
3. Gravy could also turn thick if you use more corn flour or use less water. Make sure that you use ingredients in the same ratio as mentioned above.
4. If gravy is not cooked perfectly then it could taste and smell like raw corn starch. You should cook it until it doesn't smell raw and gravy turns transparent.
Time required to cook gravy for manchurian would vary on factors like size and thickness of cooking vessel being used, quantity and type of heat source (electric or gas or induction). So it is necessary to check the texture, color and taste at the end of every step before moving to next step.

I tried this gobi manchurian with gravy yesterday and it came out very well. I even sprinkled little bit of black pepper powder while making gravy and it gave a nice aroma and spiciness. Till now i was thinking that its impossible to make restaurant like manchurian at home but with this recipe, it was super easy and tasty.
