With the rising inclination
towards Chinese foodstuffs,
we all either move to the restaurants or make them
with masala mix packets at home. But their taste can
neither be customized nor
is it healthy. So, my today’s
recipe is Gobhi Manchurian, which can be made
easily at home, can be customized and has such ingredients that are easily
available.
