Cauliflower Manchurian is one of my favourite Indo-chinese appetizer. Gobi Manchurian is one of the classic example of adaption of chinese techniques and seasoning to meet Indian taste buds.This is one of the popular starter found in most of the restaurants. It can also be served with Pulao, fried rice and biryani. I have already posted Broccoli Manchurian.
