Gobi Manchurian, a special North Indian vegetarian side dish. Dry Gobi Manchurian is a rich starter to treat our guests. I have this yummy dish many times and once my son's Client came home for dinner. He is a Hungarian and though he is a non-vegetarian, he likes this dish very much and he wondered that Vegetarian dishes are equal substitute for non-Vegetarian dishes. Unique flavour of the sauces which we use in this, make this dish liked by many children.
