Veg Manchurian Roll Recipe | Indian Street Style Food

One of the best things about being born and raised in India, is the accessibility to variety of delicious, lip-smacking Indian street food like chaat, pakoras, rolls, etc. Once outside homeland, the access to these tasty dishes gets limited. This leads to either driving many miles to find a good restaurant which serves them or spend hours prepping and cooking them at home.
