Ingredients
  

Frying Cauliflower

  • 500 g Cauliflower
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Kashmiri Chilli
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
  • 4 tbsp Corn Flour
  • 1 tbsp Plain Flour
  • 40 ml Water

Manchurian Sauce

  • Wash the cauliflower thoroughly then cut into equal sized florets then set aside
