Veg Chowmein and Zucchini Manchurian

Veg chowmein is a favourite at home and the best combo is either veg munchurian or Gobhi 65 (cauliflower). Off late husband loves zucchini chips and I was not in a mood to take extra efforts to make veg Manchurian. So instead of chips I attempted to make it as a muchurian and it turned out pretty well.

Pan fried Zucchini instead of fried or baked.

  • Plain Noodles – 1/2 packet
  • Julienned – carrot , cabbage , onion (use spring onions if you have) , red +green capsicum ,ginger , garlic
