How to Make Manchurian

Manchurian is a dish made with deep fried vegetable balls that are served with a vegetable gravy. It is considered Indo-Chinese cuisine, a food that was originally Chinese but has been manipulated to serve an Indian pallet. The Chinese versions tend to be a little less spicy.
