Baby Corn Manchurian Recipe
Hi Everyone,
After a long time I am back with a healthy and mouthwatering recipe. I love Chinese and with Indian touch its simply irresistible. You must have eaten this at restaurants and wanted to make them at home. I always make it at home and my family loves it. You can make it even more healthy by using olive oil for frying and adding besan to the batter. I have used Sezwaan sauce here instead of red chilly powder you can use as per your taste. my family is not found of capsicum so I have not put in while making this but it is included in the recipe.
