Spicy Indo-Chinese Cauliflower

"This is a variation of the regular gobi (cauliflower) Manchurian available in most Indian "Chinese" restaurants. I must warn you that this is a rather spicy dish, so do temper down the spice levels as per your taste. The reason why I prefer this version is that the cauliflower florets are not deep-fried in a thick batter. This can be enjoyed as a starter or makes a great dry dish when paired with egg/veggie-fried rice!"
