Veg Manchurian

                    Today's recipe Veg Manchurian is  a very simple one, very famous one and known to all. It is placed under the Chinese section of the menu and is liked alike by young and old. Veg Manchurian is the first thing that comes to my Dad's mind whenever we discuss of getting something from the restaurants.What annoys me is the fact that some restaurants make it too spicy and some make it too sweet but my dad has figured out a place where we can get the perfect one but what better than making it at home?

                         Manchurian tastes best with fried rice or noodles and I served it with Egg pepper noodles and it also tastes great with Mixed fried rice and Carrot capsicum rice do try it. Now onto today's recipe :-
