Cauliflower Manchuria | Gobi Manchurian
Prepared By Lakshmi Aparna
Gobi manchuria is made from cauliflower florets. This recipe is a customized version of the Indo Chinese dish.
This dish tastes good as a starter with soups, noodles and goes well with naans too.
I used a slightly different preparation method and the output was delicious.
