Cauliflower Manchurian | Gobi Manchurian

Here's another way of making Cauliflower Manchurian. Everybody at home loves cauliflower and we try to make it in different ways as possible. While the elders at home are fine with any version, my boys are quite picky and this is one vegetable that they like to eat. They especially love the Manchurian version.

Ever since knowing they like the Manchurian, we have tried different ways. Surprisingly they are not so keen on the Cauliflower Pakoda and insists that we make it a saucy version. So we felt a new Manchurian recipe is in order.

While we had to pick out lot of veggies out of the rice, I saw they still enjoyed this Vegetable Fried Rice with Cauliflower Manchurian
