Vegetable Manchurian

Vegetable Manchurian is a fabulous fusion of Indo-Chinese cuisine.It is a fabulous starter.Goes well with fried rice as well as Hakka noodles.Spicy and tangy and favorite with all age-groups.Most people love to order it.
However,when we eat out,it is not possible to control the ingredients.

Indo-Chinese cuisine in hotel industry uses MSG(or Ajinomoto) and cornflour in their recipes.However,some people are allergic to it.Others may want to avoid it due to dietary restrictions.Another issue,deep fried and low quality oil in markets.

Healthy homecooked Indo-Chinese:

When you make it at home,we can still get the same taste and make it healthy too.
We used maize flour(instead of corn flour) in this recipe.Also we have steamed vegetable cubes.
Hence, it adds nutritional value to the recipe without changing the taste.
So make this on a special Friday night and Enjoy!!
