Gobi Manchurian: What's behind the recent headlines?
Gobi Manchurian is a popular Indo-Chinese dish that consists of batter-fried cauliflower florets tossed in a tangy, spicy sauce. The dish typically features a combination of ingredients such as soy sauce, chili sauce, garlic, ginger, and green onions, creating a flavorful and savory profile.
But in India, Gobi Manchurian has recently got a bad rap.
In March, the Karnataka government imposed a ban on Rhodamine-B, a coloring agent commonly used in the dish, citing health hazards associated with it.?
According to a report in The Hans India, this ban led to an 80% decline in sales of Gobi Manchurian, as the dish's original color without the coloring agent did not appeal to many customers.
