Gobi Manchurian

Gobi Manchurian is an Indo-Chinese dish that we usually order at restaurants for our Naans, Phulkas and Rotis. It is very easy to prepare at home provided we have all required ingredients. I prepared as semi gravy dish for my phulkas. It tastes real good however it is dry or gravy. Believe me, it came outr real well and the taste was awesome :). A comment from my dad..
