Air Fryer Gobi Manchurian

Updated: Feb 10, 2022

Once you try this simple no-fry version of your favorite Indo-Chinese appetizer, there is no going back. It's an explosion of flavor and texture!

This recipe has been tried and tested several times. This dry manchurian is best served immediately as an appetizer. It spicy, garlicy, and tangy notes will definitely tingle your tastebuds.


I came up with this recipe when I kept seeing recipes for buffalo cauliflower wings. I wanted to coat it in a different sauce, and I came up with this idea instead. It has been a party and family favorite for some time now.
