I have been testing air frier recipes still and this second try at “fried” cauliflower for gobi manchurian is pretty close to perfect. It never made it into the sauce as I snacked it all up. My first attempt was good but I had some difficulty with the coating, so this time I cheated and used an egg white to help the coating stick. therefore this is not vegan like most Indian dishes can be.
- 3 tbsp potato starch
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp 3 chili blend from supreme
- 1 tsp finely ground black pepper
- 1 egg white beaten
Mix all the dry ingredients and beat the egg white to a foam with a pinch of salt. I added oil to the egg white to assist with the browing in the air fryer. Clean the head of cauliflower and prepare into bite sized chunks. Dry completely the chunks and then toss them in the egg whites to coat. Sprinkle the dry ingredients on the chunks at this time and load the air fryer. Spray oil can be added in addition to aid in the browning. cook for about 15 minutes tossing every 5 minutes to ensure uniform cooking. tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside.
the spices show their true color in the egg 
one head makes a full load
NOTE: I will add a sauce recipe once the cauliflower last long enough to add to a sauce.
