These are not real tastes of mysuru. We expect some traditional tasty foods of Mysuru(karnataka) region.

Hello Praveen,
You can browse many of the traditional recipes of Mysuru(Karnataka) origin on Taste of Mysore. We all need some change from traditional recipes and this post has just done that.

Well done Mangala. Both looks absolutely delicious.
As for the first comment, although these are not traditional Karnataka cuisine, they have become a integral part of Bangalore and Mysore cuisine. I know this for a fact when I was in B;lore, every restaurant had this on the menu, even people cooked Manchurian so often. I loved it! :)

Good job LG, thanks for introducing M to us.

Myvegfare said...

Hi Mangala, your fried rice and gobi manchurian both look so good!!, Good job LG!!

@Asha,

Not only restaurents, even road side 'gaaDis' also prepare manchurian. :) and I dnt think people cook manchurian often in homes. Its very rare. Me too love it .

@Smitha,

Being a new person to this site, I had impression that this site is meant for authentic Mysuru region foods. Becoz these gobis, manchurians are not used as our 'foods'. So I commented like that.

@LG

Thank you.
