4. Now add blanched cauliflower florets and baby corn pieces. Wet your hands and mix thoroughly to coat well.

5. Heat kadai and pour oil for deep frying.

6. Now put cauliflower florets and baby corn pieces  into oil. 

7. Deep fry them on medium to high flame till they are done completely.

8. Transfer them onto a plate containing kitchen paper towel to absorb excess oil. 

9. Likewise fry the remaining baby corn and cauliflower florets in batches and transfer them onto a plate. 

10. Heat a pan and pour little oil. Add chopped ginger and garlic pieces. Sauté for a minute.

11. Now add chopped spring onion whites and greens too. Keep some for garnishing.

Onion salad preparation:
Take a small bowl and add one tbsp of fresh cream. Put salt, pepper powder and red chilli powder. Mix thoroughly. Now add chopped onion pieces. Mix thoroughly. Now the onion salad with cream dressing is ready.

Tip: 

1. I’ve not added tomato ketchup, if you prefer  you can add that too. After adding soya sauce, you can also add corn flour water mixture for a glossy texture.

2. In the above recipe I’ve used the combo of baby corn and cauliflower florets, instead you can prepare either gobi/cauliflower manchurian or baby corn manchurian separately.
