2 tbsp garlic-finely chopped,

Mix 2 tsp of corn starch with around 4 tbsp of water and add to the above mixture and cook till the sauce thickens. Keep this Sauce aside.
For the batter, In a bowl take all purpose flour, the remaining 3 tsp corn starch, some salt, black pepper powder, ginger-garlic paste and some water. Mix well to form a smooth batter.
Dip the cauliflower florets in this batter and deep fry them on medium flame until light brown and crisp.
Now add the fried Cauliflower and some green onions to the prepared sauce and mix well to coat the cauliflower completely with sauce. Garnish with some green onions. Serve hot .

Tips:
Its always better to make the sauce first and them add the fried florets to it. Because the manchurian will be crisp this way.
One can also boil the cauliflower for 5 minutes in the microwave, before adding them to the batter.
