Good one, Coffee! Indo-Chinese or Sino-Indian cuisine is a totally different league
isn’t it 
i love gobhi manchurian
Its a different world !
Love write-up. I have had chinese food in London, New York, Vancouver, Malaysia, Singapore and China.
The most unpallatalbe I have to admit was the one in New York followed by some I had in the Hunan province in China.
Recipes look good too.
Thanks Saju.
First of all woman,take that chop sticks away and give me a fork!! :razz:
Gobi Manchurian is very popular in B’lore,used to eat that a lot but never made it here though.I made a real Chinese dish for next week and one more for JFI .
Combo looks great.I think there are lot of vegetarian Chinese dishes you can make, just skip the non-veg!:)
Asha, eat the with chopsticks, and I insist! :P
Gobi manchurian is an absolute all time fav I must agree! Yes there are plenty veg chinese dishes to make.
Yummy.. Love both Gobi Manchuria and fried rice. Nice write up. Thanks for sharing your recipes. I’ll be making them soon.
My pleasure Pavni.
Let me know how you like it. 
Same experience for me too, Coffee! I had to search wide-eyed for any sea-food mixed in even okra
but then i started to like the buddhist-chinese vege dishes and char kway teow remains my fav. well anyway nothing to beat indo-chinese… oily, corn-floury whatever but tasty :oops: oh! how much i miss singapore!
Coffee…it’s so mouthwatering that I skipped your lil noted and was staring at the pics for so long…..it looks so authentic…and now u remind me that i am yet to prepare your chilli garlic ……Truly, it looks quite authentic !!
Shn
your fly li vely nice, la. :razz:
I am drooling over the pics, they are fantastic…….the first time i had gobi manchurian was in banglore and after that i just cudnt get enough of it……
I want, I want….too delicious, MUST eat this
to even hear the word, said that they did not have anything like this on their menu. Totally embarrassing for me :oops:
I remember the first time I went to a Chinese restaurant in the US and asked for Schezwan Fried Rice, proud that I knew so much, and then the waitress was horrified
Hahahaha! I know what you mean by that…… We once asked for schezwan sauce in a restaurant…..the waiter poor thing didn’t understand and went and called the manager….. who also didnt understand and asked us to write it down!!
Coffee, that Manchurian and Fried rice make me crave for some Indian Chinese food right away looks terrific. I have to wait atleast 4 months for that :))
I did search for that Manchurian and American chopsuey in Chinese restaurants in the US, DH could not understand my excitement when I jumped on it with so much enthusiasam but uttterly despondent when I could not see them on the menu and one thing I could not get is it is America and there is no American Chosuey!!
Hahahaha! I can understand what you mean by that ISG.
i am drooling at those pictures. now i have stopped going to those stalls eek the first time i went saw hot dogs and fish balls and cake . seeing that i just i came running back until my colleague pulled me to assure it is a no meat stall and explained how they make it look for non veg who turned vege. But still i love those yummy dishes with rice and noodles whatever names they call it ha ha. one of my friend gave a hearty laugh when i told her Gobi manchurian was one of the famous dish sold in India:mrgreen:
ha ha.
Both dishes look yummy, esp the manchurian hope my daughter doensn’t see this 
haven’t made it for a long time.
Now i hardly go to the chinese stalls , just last week i saw a new punjabi stall open haila its just awesome :). chinese dishes as u say only home cooked for me too
You bet!! I have an audience when I start talking about Indian Chinese!! They think I am coming from some other planet!
Love indo-chinese…lovely recipes and great pictures…I am going to try it sooon…
Thanks Neelam. And let me know how you like them.
Coffee, did you have to post those pics when its lunch time here ! I dont want to eat the lunch I made, I want that plate of mushroom fried rice and gobi manchuria ! Simply mouthwatering…..
Iam in the same boat, chinese has to be homemade for me as we are vegetarians too and I just cant eat it outside unless I am in India !!
Need I say that I am going to try it real sooooon !!!
:razz: You can have it off your monitor!
Let me know how you like it.
Looks great Coffeee….ekdum Chin Chin Choon
BTW try that Veg Chicken sometime it really is awesome. One of my strictly Veg. Rajasthani friend took me to one and I was pleasantly surprised
I have two really good Indian Chinese restaurants near my place and one of them is run by a Chinese from Kolkata
So I get to eat all the manchurian and chiili chicken I want but their Gobi Manchurian seriously lacks. That I think is because Gobi Manchurian is more popular in South India than rest of the part at least we never got Gobi manchurian in Kolkata when I was hogging onto them in B’lore.
I am allergic to soy remember?? I run into rashes…… and did so too when I tried tasting it once
You lucky girl!!! Indian Chinese restaurant near your place!!
Hey Coffee, being a great fan of the Indian Chinese, I too have had hell lot of Bad experience here in US. :cry: Almost 5 yrs of my college life passed having fried rice and gobi manchurian. I craved like hell after coming to US and saw a chinese restaurant where it read veg fried rice and nothing to go with it but I thought something was better and ordered.
It had no salt, chilli, just was plain white rice with some steamed broccoli and carrot. :neutral: I didnt want to waste it so brought it home, fried it with some oil and seasoning. Tasted it :mad: It still had the smell of all the raw veggies. It ended in the trash after being royally seasoned in my kitchen.
your pics drive me crazy. they are so beautiful and tempting. You did not add onions to ur rice? very lil ingredients surprises me. I have filled my pantry researching to bring out the right taste in my fried rice and noodles like ajinomoto , stri fry sauce, fried rice powder and so on….. :roll:
thanks for the very simple and great one. Going to try out this sunday.
I try to avoid MSG if possible…… and have never used any of these powders. I prefer is simple with just the flavouring from ginger, garlic, chili and soy sauce.
C’mon Coffee, live a little - go try the fake chicken and duck - they’re quite nice. Your Gobi Manchurian (aka Kobi Manjoori, Kopi Manchuria, Gopi Manchuria) looks awesome!
I have tried it a few times Sra, and I run into rash since I am allergic to anything soy!
looks fabulous…..having turned vegetarian myself, i cant imagine having my chinis food made out of chicken broth!! ….i know what i am going to do now with that half head of cauliflower in the fridge……
Thanks Arundhati… Let me know how you liked it.
I had authentic chinese food here and didn’t think much of it. Again I had authentic chinese in Singapore last year and that was the end of all the authentic chinese stuff I ever wanted to try!
Gobi manchurian looks great!
Haha…. I can imagine!
Thanks Jyothsna.
very mean having all these by yourself…not even inviting us…
…fabulous pictures…

You are welcome anytime my dear.
Hey Coffee…fabulous. This is really really tempting.
)
Great info !!! I am bookmarking this. Will definitely try out sometime next week. I am a great fan of chinese food (am a veggie too
Let me know how you like it SeeC.
I am very fond of chinese food. Just love your both dishes. I am going to try these two recipes very soon. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jyothi!
Oh Coffee! Manchurian & fried rice are 2 of my fav ” Indian Chinese “dishes. I am not too fond of the real Chinese version.Like u, I too am a vegetarian.
Your pics look really good!I am going to bookmark this one & let u know how it turns out when I make it. Thanks! :razz:
Sure TBC…. do tell me how you like it.
Gobi Manchurian - oooh, deep fried spicy goodness at its best! Coffee, you make me lose all my good intentions.

Coffee, the manchurian is inviting. Very perfect combo for this rice dish dear. the photos are awesome. Simply professional. Viji
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Two favorite dishes of mine… esp. Gobi Manchurian. The mushroom fried rice looks really good coffee. I experienced the same shock at the Veg. Stall and since they look so similar to their actual ‘non-veg’ counterparts it was difficult. But I actually started liking the ‘mock-pork’ (of course before I knew that it was mock-pork) !
you haven’t emaild me the entry, have you? Just want to clarify because half of the entries go to Spam. hope I have not deleted them by mistake.
LOL coffee…
i cant stop laughing thinking abt ur reaction to those (non)veggie names to veggie dishes 
ah…indo-chinese is my all time fav and these two recipes u have blogged is my all time fav:) making me hungry even after having my dinner just few mins back n i am serious… beautiful pics, just loved it
Your fried rice is perfect! YUM. I think I’ll make a mushroom version tomorrow.
Looks so yummy. I’m bookmarking this and will try it out very soon. But I do know the perils of being vegetarian in Singapore
Hi coffee,
Your header with a brewing coffee is great. I just love good coffee. I have to say good as many people spoil this delicious drink.
The non veg name is enough to spoil my appetite. BTW your gobi manchurian looks yummy!
Hey girl, I too made them for my sunday meal. The gobi manchurian and veg. manchurian with some noodles. Love the indo-chinese food.
Absolutely mouthwatering…
Love Chinese…we have quite a few authentic Chinese restaurants in Guwahati, run by a few chinese families, and the taste is simply awesome. 
..
Oh wow… that is absolutely delicious…. and that mock stuff, I never get the idea! Who are they planning to attract with a mock hotdog? Vegetarians shouldn’t care if their dish looked like meat, and non-vegetarians can just have the real thing, so whats the deal!!! Anyway, who wants the restaurants when you can whip us such delicious looking food at home!!!
Loved your write up…i am here after a long gap and tryrd to catch up all the delicious recipes..This chinese meal looks PERFECT…Will try it soon..
this is the yummiest entry i have seen in so many days (sorry if i offended anyone else who is going to comment hereafter!). and i luuuv ur chopsticks, they are so pretty.
thanks for your wishes, coffee. and thank god you can see the pics! hope it works for everyone now.
my sis recently taught me how to make gobi manchurian. think i shud go for a mix of your recipe and hers!
The pictures on this post are just gorgeous beyond belief! My hand is being pulled by those chopsticks
I had no idea that traditional Chinese cuisine does not chillies, ginger and garlic.
Just bought a wok, and I think gobi manchurian will be the first thing I will make in it!
Cofee,this is tooooo good…I bet this is sinfully delicious…Love those chopsticks and the rice…I love chinese and make the same..as my sis Nags had said…Love your recipe…Thanx a looot for sharing this classic one..!!
Coffee, Ask me about the the authentic Chinese restaurants here. As all of you I too love Indian Chinese and literally pestered my hubby to take me to a Chinese restaurant here inspite of the warning he gave me. Oh gosh!!! we went finally and I ordered what not as I had resisted my cravings for Chinese(Indian way) food for long then. I ordered full three course meal and just had a couple of spoons of all the dishes :cry: which I had to keep up my image in front of my hubby. That was my first and last visit to the authentic Chinese restaurant here. Your Manchurian and the mushroom fried rice looks deadly Coffee. Love it. By the way how can you manage eating with those chopsticks? I always wanted to try eating with them but never was successful. Nice presentation buddy.
Wow! Great pictures, and I love the chopsticks, I NEED to try this recipe!!!

Hello Coffee, my first time to your blog, and i loved it
And will keep dropping by. Chinese recipes are my fav. I will sometime try out your fried rice with Manchuria soon. Well, have added you to my blogroll 
The mushroom fried rice & gobhi manchurian makes me wanna eat all that platter right now, but so sad “virtual reality” may never happen the way that I can just pick up the dish right off the screen - or will it happen some day?? :roll:
[…] but I say go with your instincts. There are no rules to eating as well. Have you tried Naan with Gobi Manchurian? It’s out of the […]
