VEG MANCHURIAN GRAVY RECIPE/ CHINESE VEG MANCHURIAN GRAVY

Manchurian is a delicious Chinese delicacy. I have shared Manchurian recipes like Chicken Manchurian, Gobi Manchurian, Paneer Manchurian, Idli Manchurian and Egg Manchurian in my earlier posts and today, I am going to share a delicious and flavourful recipe of Veg Manchurian or Vegetable Manchurian that I tried recently. The Veg Manchurian gravy came out delicious. Serve this hot with Veg Fried rice for lunch or dinner.
