Gobi Manchurian Dry
"Gobi Manchurian" can be found in almost all Indian restaurant's menu as this is such a popular dish. Every one mistakes this to be a Chinese dish but this is a pure Indian dish. To my knowledge there is no dish as "Manchurian" in Chinese restaurant menu except in India. Manchuria - The historical name of a region of north-east China. May be this is the reason we call it as a Chinese dish or may be this dish incorporates lots of Chinese ingredients like soy sauce, ginger and garlic. Why bother about the name when the taste is very excellent. Here is the recipe for this dish.

Gobi / Cauliflower - 1 small cut into bite size florets
Garlic finely chopped - 5 cloves
