Gobi Manchurian Dry

I recently published another dish by name of gobi Manchurian but in that recipe we used only 1 tsp of oil. This is little different as you would see. This one is totally dry though it used little more oil than the previous one. Usually we associate Manchurian with the Chinese food but the gobi manturian is Indian adaptation of Chinese variety as most people in india are vegetarians and do not eat meat in any form so it was necessary to introduce a vegetarian variety to them so they too can enjoy the taste across the border. This recipe uses lot more oil than the last one as it is nto only shallow fried but also deep fried
