I found the Chettinad Gobi Manchurian in my nearby hole in the wall chettinad restaurant.
I laughed when I saw it.
Then I realised that this is what defines India...we have NO respect for rules...we give a damn about what is right. We created the Gobi Manchurian...then it was not enough....south of Vindhyas we need our curry patta so chettinad Gobi Manchurian!
The Chettinad Gobi Manchurian describes my India-
its innovative
Its entrepreneurial
Its has no respect for other's rules (even if its only culinary)
It is deeply rooted in the local (no cookie cutter approach can get you anywhere in India)
It’s about only you!
Where else in the world do you see this embracing of the variety and the stamp of your own self in that milieu?
