Very often in life we find that certain places, movies, songs and even food items remind us of our childhood. Cauliflower Manchurian takes me back to my school days when my sister and I used to huddle up in the kitchen for hours to make it. The kitchen used to be an undeclared war zone leaving a huge mess for my mom to clear up later.
I will be sharing the recipe of Cauliflower Manchurian today.
Sis, this post is for you..remembering all the good times we have shared during our childhood 🙂

Post more fast to cook recipes no? I'm in dire need of them! Our cooking is too time consuming and complicated… I'm trying to find simple, easy to cook stuff. Any ideas?
You can try Pesarattu (Mixed lentil-rice dosa) and idlis made with semolina & vermicelli. Both are easy to make. I will post the recipes shortly.
