Dry Bread Manchurian is a delicious deep-fried Indo Chinese snack made with bread and vegetables. Kids love this one as you can make it for their evening snack.
I made this one as part of the April BM, since there are too many dishes to be shared, I decided I might as well share some before. I am not about to share the main picture. Fried dry bread Manchurian is a total hit with my kids and they have been after me to make it again for them.
I love my own Indo-Chinese dishes as I further adapt them to our tastes and luckily kids love it too. Different versions of this snack are already done like the Cauliflower Manchurian and Vegetable Manchurian, so this bread version was liked much as well.
These dry manchurians make a wonderful pair with these Garlic Noodles.
