A couple of years back when a French food festival was held
in Delhi, the imported chefs burst into tears when they saw patrons pouring Tabasco
sauce on their delicate creations (I remember reading that in the India Today)
However I must insist that Gobi Manchurian (aka Manchoori or Manjuri
along with variants such as Potato , Baby Corn, Paneer in place of
Gobi) is an
accepted Chinese dish in Bangalore and people do get suspicious of any
restaurant
that does not serve these dishes no doubt thinking that it cannot be an
authentic Chinese restaurant if they do not have such Chinese
delicacies.

I've always wondered why you don't serve mashed potatoes and garlic bread
;-)
Next time I come over (which will be in July), I'll order the pad thai with
mased potatoes and red curry with garlic break. Viva fusion cuisine!
