Fish Manchurian – Gravy Version

I love chinese
foods, more than anything else. In this blog alone I have around 38 recipes
which are chinese. I never thought that seafoods can be made in chinese style.
I  have often seen that it takes part a
major role in restaurant menu, but I have never ordered it. Oneday we thought
to go bold and ordered chilli fish from our favorite restaurant. I was so
amazed by the taste, and it inspired me to give a try of my own.

I thought of making
it like a manchurian. Hubby bought some beautiful fish from the market and
those were perfect for this. I was so amazed by the result, they tasted so
fresh and yummy. I am planning to make more fish recipes in the future…I hope
you will love it as much as I did..

    Aarthi, thanks for all the hard work + sincere efforts. Hope you know it makes a difference! I love your 'pictorial' step-by-step photos; they make it so easy to follow, esp. the one photo of all the ingredients. Keep cooking – enjoy! With thanks from a fellow-foodie in Canada.
