Gobi Manchurian

Sree and I like Gobi Manchurian very much. If I go to a restaurant the first thing I order is either Paneer Butter Masala or Gobi Manchurian. I tried making Manchurian several times, but my efforts were fruitless. This time I tried a different recipe. How it turned out, that you can figure out yourself after trying this recipe.
