Gobi Manchurian

This is the first time I am making gobi manchurian. In my early days of marriage when I had just started to cook my husband's neice (now mine too) used to ask me, Aunty can you make gobi manchurian?It was very popular in resturants at that time. But at that time I was not very much exposed to daily cooking, better not to talk about ingredients like soy sauce. So I used to tell her when we go out for dinner we will buy you. After that we left india and it was long forgotten. The other day I was browsing and suddenly came across this recipe for gobi manchurian and tried it. It came out pretty well. But today I don't know whether my neice like it, kids grow up and there taste buds change too. But next time when I visit India she is surely going to get home made manchurian.
