Gobi/Cauliflower Manchurian Gravy

     Manchurian is a popular Indo-Chinese dish.It is a blend of Chinese sauces with Indian spices.
   I have been trying to attempt to prepare a chinese dish all by myself from a very long time.But everytime i wouldn't have one sauce or the other.Then i made sure i had everything ready a week ahead and finally gave it a try.And surprise....:-)...it came out so well!!!!Making Manchurian balls with a number of veggies is quite time consuming.So i ended up trying it out with Cauliflower.It was a big hit in the family.I paired it with a chinese veggie fried rice(the recipe for which will be soon posted).Trust me....it was mindblowing :-).

   
    Chinese food usually contains MSG which are found to stimulate pancreas to produce insulin when there doesn't even have to be carbohydrates in the food for that insulin to act on.So i usually avoid using them at home for a healthier version.

Benefits of Cauliflower:

- Cauliflower is a very good source of vitamin C and manganese, which are both powerful antioxidants which in turn    reduce your risk for diseases like cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

- Cauliflower also contains high amounts of vitamin K and omega-3 fatty acids, which help decrease inflammation-mediated diseases such as arthritis, obesity, diabetes mellitus, inflammatory bowel disease and ulcerative colitis.
- Cauliflower contains a substance called glucoraphin, with which our stomach is not prone to the bacterium helicobacter pylori, thereby reducing your risk for stomach ulcer and cancer.
