How About Some Chinese For Lunch?


Today, we felt like having Chinese food at home, so I made :
Cauliflower Manchurian Dry
Vegetable Fried Rice with lots and lots of garlic
Sweet and Sour vegetables to go with the Fried Rice
A simple Chinese meal, here are some pictures. 

The Cauliflower Manchurian looks very red, but believe me, I did not add red color like they usually do in the Restaurants. The color is from MDH Theeka Lal (a brand of Masalas, in this case: their red chilly powder). It would have tasted much better if I had used Spring onions for the garnish, since I did not have them, I had to make do with just fresh coriander leaves.

These three flexible rascals, (they are in blue, yellow and pink) that you see here are from Pondicherry. Looks like they can't wait to taste the Cauliflower Manchurian, the aroma of these fried fritters is making them jump and wave their arms in excitement...... the two old Chinese are in no hurry, for they want to have a full fledged meal....






 How about you, do you like Chinese food?

    Great looking food- I'm sure it tasted even better than it looks!!!! yes, I definitely love Chinese food (better love it since I'm married to a Chinese man :)) .... we eat Malaysian chinese food almost everyday- we throw in a bunch of curries from time to time- and occasionally try out a 'western' dish :)

    I like Indo-Chinese food we get in India. Even though there are many restaurants here, I don't like any that serve Indo-Chinese.

    Manchurian and chop suey are my favorites.

    I love Chinese food. I also enjoy cooking noodles, fried rice, manchurian etc. at home, and I stay away from artificial color too. You could also try Everest Kootilal or Kashmiri red chilly powder for the beautiful color. I use it for my chicken tikkas :).The Tikhalal of Everest brand is very hot. I haven't tried the MDH variety.

    I LOVE Chinese food . In my college days my best friend was Chinese and in the lunch time I used eat up her food everyday. So much so she started bringing 2 lunch boxes. I stayed in the hostel - understandable isn't it?
