When it turns little thick add fried gobi and chopped spring onions . Saute it nicely and serve hot.


  • If u are inviting any guest and if u want to do this dish as starters then fry gobi in advance and put it aside . prepare this sauce in advance and put it aside ( u can add all sauces except corn starch) . When ur guest arrives then heat this sauce pan and then add cornstarch , fried gobi , spring onions . Saute it nicely and serve hot .

Note :- For preparing batter u can completely use cornflour or u can use 1/2 maida and 1/2 cornflour or u can prepare with full maida and 3 tbspns cornflour combination . So which ever u like u can follow that combination for preparing batter .

    Hi sugandha , cornflour gives crispyness but it absorbs little more oil .in general u cantake 1/2 of maida & 1/2 of cornflour and combline with 1 egg.

    -Cheers,
    Preethi
