Hello dear fruitsandveggiesfriends!
Today I have a delicious, Indian dish for you especially for friends of spicy cuisine 🤪
Manchurian is a very popular Indian dish that is cooked in Chinese style. It's basically fried cauliflower wrapped in pastry which is served in a thick sauce. It is usually served as a starter, but it can also be served as a main course with rice or Indian bread.
It is said that this dish was developed by a group of Chinese in eastern Kolkata (Kolkata) not long ago. During and after the Chinese Cultural Revolution under Mao Tse Tung, many Chinese succeeded in fleeing to India and establishing a new existence as a restaurant operator there. They developed a new fusion kitchen that quickly conquered India. "Gobi Manchurian" can be found today on almost every Indian menu.
