In India, any dish with the word ‘Manchurian’ in the title tends to indicate that it’s an interpretation of a Chinese dish, often with added Indian seasonings. In this case, the cauliflower is fried with a crispy spicy coating, then tossed in a rich sweet and sour sauce - the perfect combination of Indian spices and Chinese technique!

4/5

We were excited to make this last weekend as a good flavourful veggie option. It wasnt too complicated apart from coating and frying the cauliflower florets (we also included some broccoli too) but it was fun too, getting sticky fingers and watching them brown. Once cooked we couldnt resist trying a couple while the sauce was thickening and they were really delicious. Which brings me to why i dropped a mark - dont put the fried florets into the sauce; it just makes them soggy and the coating disintegrates. Much nicer having them crispy and the sauce on the side with the rice to bring it all together. easy in hindsight. My partner wasnt too keen on the dish overall but I loved it and would recommend.

Thanks for your review, Cara - it's great to hear how much you loved this dish. Great idea to use broccoli too, and we're pleased to hear that you were able to adapt the recipe slightly to make it more enjoyable for you. Happy spicing!
