Tips (ಸಲಹೆ): 
 * Sautéing the Cauliflower pieces in little oil before deep frying will enhance the flavour 
 * Boiling the Cauliflower pieces in Turmeric, Salt Water will remove the Worms & Pesticides 
* To make the Gobi Manchurian crispy, cut the Cauliflower into small pieces & use the proportion of flours as described in the Ingredients section and fry in medium flame till they become crispy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * ಹೂಕೋಸಿನ ತುಂಡುಗಳನ್ನು ಎಣ್ಣೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹುರಿಯುವ ಮುಂಚೆ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಹುರಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳುವದರಿಂದ ಪರಿಮಳ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗುತ್ತದೆ
 * ಹೂಕೋಸಿನ ತುಂಡುಗಳನ್ನು ಅರಶಿನ, ಉಪ್ಪು ನೀರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕುದಿಸುವುದರಿಂದ ಅದರಲ್ಲಿರುವ ಹುಳಗಳು ಸಾಯುತ್ತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕೀಟನಾಶಕಗಳನ್ನು ತೆಗೆಯುತ್ತದೆ
 * ಗೋಬಿ ಮಂಚೂರಿ ಕರು-ಕುರು ಇರಲು, ಹೂಕೋಸನ್ನು ಸಣ್ಣಗೆ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿ, ಪಾಕ ವಿಧಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದ ಅಳತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಡಿಗಳನ್ನು ಹಾಕಿ ಮಧ್ಯಮ ಉರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕರು-ಕುರು ಆಗುವ ತನಕ ಕರಿಯಿರಿ
