Chinese Chilly gobi and potato chilly(Famous Indian Street food)

Chinese cuisines are remarkable. It has marked its place more as a street food not only in India but across the globe. The taste ,simplicity and ease with which it can be prepared is what i guess has made it popular and widespread as well. Am in Germany and whenever i enter a famous mall at my place i see like most of the people with packets of noodles strolling all the way. This is just a snapshot of the popularity of Chinese cuisine.

On the streets of India it is not only noodles that are popular but Manchurian and Chilly items are popular as well. The famous among all is the Hakka noodles. The Indian street vendors often customize the recipe to suit Indian pallets . I am a big fan of all the Chinese cuisine. Every now and then  i love having them. Last evening i prepared some Crispy Potato and cauliflower chilly item. I was in total love with this crispy fritters. This recipe has been adapted from the famous Indian chef Harpal Singh Sokhi's show at Sanjeev kapoors Khana khazana.

I hope you like them too .
