The most lovable recipe I like is Manchurian. Where ever I eat, I will surely order any Manchurian for starters. I recently had Vegetable Manchurian in Truly India restaurant at London. I just loved that recipe much.

I tried the same recipe and it came so good. I would like to share it with all my friends.

Hint: The balls are fried twice, so that it won't absorb oil much. Vegetable balls should be mixed and fried immediately. If not hard portion get formed at the middle. This is because of addition of cornflour.
