I indulged in quite a bit of good and heavy food over the last couple of days. Since, this once in a while over eating got a bit overboard, I craved for a very light meal, that would be easy on our stomachs. Generally Manchurian gravy is prepared, with the vegetable dipped in a batter and deep fried in oil, so I went ahead and prepared the same Manchurian sauce with just sautéed vegetables in it. Though simple and bland, the dish was tasty and a perfect accompaniment for a simple vegetable pulao.
