Gobi Manchurian Dry - Restaurant style

Most famous and common starters among Indians is Gobi Manchurian. It's been so long I have tasted this recipe. It was so surprise when barer said, we have good all time starter Gobi Manchurian in our restaurant  and our chef prepares well, in no minute we ordered it. Yup in Germany hardly we can taste fancy Indian starters and soup.

I myself have done this many time in India, but never before here. This Newyear (2019) was a good start with home made Gobi manchurian. I remember my college days with my dad. Whenever I ask Fried rice or cashew pulao, he gets me along with Gobi manchurian. How tasty I do cook, still what ever my father got for me is special and tasty :), enriched with all his love.
