Technically, this is not an authentic Chinese dish. It is more of a fusion food combining both Indian and Chinese cuisine.

  1. I tried this at home, being an amateur recipe maker, I didnt know i can do very good manchurian, So thanks to the uploader.May his recipe prevails in future and guide us for amateur cooks.Thank you.

  2. health tip:i bake the florets instead of frying them..tastes just as good minus the extra calories

  3. Seems delicious!!!but without corn-flour and vinegar Will there be difference to the recipe if i don’t add them n use only flour/besan.

  4. it is nice any time snack as well. keep it up and post some other healthy and quick recipes.

  5. Hi Pooja,

    soy sauce will definitely add an important flavor to the recipe, so unless you have some allergic problems, I’d recommend that you add it.
