Fans of Desi Chinese food have long loved Gobi Manchurian, a fusion dish that typically coats cauliflower florets in a spicy red sauce. However, Goa's Mapusa has called a war against the popular dish.
In January, the Mapusa Municipal Council (MMC) in Goa banned several Gobi Manchurian stalls in the city's Shree Bodgeshwar Zatra, raising concerns over hygiene and the usage of synthetic colours in food.
