Normally I make vegetable fried rice for kid’s lunch box and pack it with plain raitha or some store-bought chips. But my daughter always insists I make Gobi Manchurian or Vegetable manchurian to accompany the Vegetable Fried rice. . But for me, it is very difficult to make the elaborate manchurian on weekday mornings. When we tasted Schezwan fried rice a few weeks back in a restaurant we all liked it and I have noted it down in my to-do list to make this recipe. Finally made it and used it for making schezwan fried rice. It was a super hit at home.
We can also use the schezwan sauce for making manchurian , parathas, momos, schezwan dosa, Indo chinese vegetable stir fry and many more.
