Mushroom Manchurian

Manchurian is a very famous Indian Chinese food. Well its mostly sold by the Indian street vendors & they pronounce it manjoorian:) Lol My mom still says manjoorian & I keep correcting her its Manchurian. Manchurian is generally deep fried veg/ meat/ seafood in a spicy sauce. This is a very easy dish & if made correctly, its the most tasty dish. Most Indians order either Gobhi Manchurian or chicken Manchurian when they dine at indo Chinese restaurant. Well for Chinese the term Manchurian is like Greek & Latin. There is absolutely no such dish in their cuisine. But I love all Indo Chinese dish coz we Indians have customised it to suit our taste buds. Now that  my hubby also likes mushrooms, I have been buying them in my weekly groceries. I am making mushroom Manchurian for the first time & it was super tasty. Yum yum yummmmm. We all loved it & I am sure u too will love this dish.
