Cooking with relish: Channa Manchurian Recipe

I have always thought cooking comes naturally to people that you can develop and enhance in your own way. When i started cooking after my marriage, i never use to go into kitchen before marriage, my mom use to do all the cooking :) , i started with my mom's recipes making small changes to it and developing my own recipes. I love experimenting with recipes from recipe sites, recipe books and all by changing it in my own style.

I remember when i prepared Gobi Manchurian with the common known recipe, it was not as expected as i wanted something similar to we get in restaurants. Then i thought may be if i modify the recipe, i may get a new entirely different one. So, i created a new dish using the same ingredients and recipe but with Channa instead of Cauliflower. It was so good and tasty, i'm eager to share it with you.
