Method:
For Gravy:
* Wash and separate the florets.Pat it and dry them.
* Make the gravy first,so we can fry the gobis and put it in the gravy.this way the gobis will be crispy.
* Take a pan, add oil, saute onion.
* dont saute it too much,add ginger,garlic and let it loose its pungent smell.
*  Now add green chillies,red & Yellow bell peppers.
* Make sure that the peppers are crisp enough.
* Now slowly add all the sauces and give it a stir.
* Add ajinomotto and also u can add pepper pwdr to make it little spicy.
* Now dissolve corn flour in a cup with 2 tbsp of water and pour it into the gravy.
This helps the gravy to be thick.

Gobi fry:
* Now take a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients under 'for frying' except gobi and form it into a bajji batter by adding little water.
* Dip the gobi florets and deep fry them in oil.
* When all the gobis are fried, immediately add it to the gravy and give it a stir.
* Garnish with cilantro and serve hot with fried rice,noodles or any pulaos.

Note:
The sauces added here are according to my taste, u can alter the proportions according to ur taste.
If u dont want ur manchurian to be too thick, then u can reduce the amt of corn flour.
