Mushroom Manchurian
Mushroom Manchurian is an Indo-Chinese recipe and it is rich in vitamin D. Additionally, it is a rich source of protein. It is a great party food and brings a welcome change from routine. I am happy that my little one has started to like mushroom nowadays and it has become one of her favourite dishes.
