Gobi Manchurian

The kids love her and so do the kids at heart ! She is every body's favorite .... she is Anju Aunty. Always ready to throw pizza parties for the kids .... well mom's are also invited ! Did I also mention that she is my 'Chai' Partner. Always full of energy, she is a great friend to hang out with.
She was super excited when she heard about my guest recipe corner. But ..... she was the last one to share the recipes (hope she doesn't kill me for this).
Trust me her chinese specials are finger licking good. Thank you Anju for being being such a wonderful friend. You are such a darling !

Dear Shivani,I loved your idea of introducing freinds recipes through guest corner instead of publishing them with your own name. There are not many people in the world who would frankly acknowledge the information received from others but instead would like to tag it with their own name.I really respect this spirit of yours. while writing this recipe for you i was tempted to start my own blog.
