Everyone loves fast food, whether it’s Chinese, Indian, or Korean. Some snacks, like Manchurian, Fries, Golgappa, Dahi Bhalla, and Papdi, are considered all-time favourites. Simultaneously, Gobhi Manchurian is a dish relished across the country as a street food. The flavourful Gobhi Manchurian, filled with sausage and spices, is cherished by all, from kids to adults. Nowadays, hot Manchurian made from corn flour, cabbage, and carrots are also prepared and enjoyed at home. However, has the thought ever crossed your mind that the flavourful Gobi Manchurian might face a ban? In Goa, this has caused quite an uproar. If you enjoy Gobhi Manchurian, you’ll be disappointed as the dish faces a recent ban in Goa. Councilor Tarak Arolkar suggested the prohibition, citing concerns about synthetic colours and cleanliness, especially in street vendors’ versions. The controversial decision raises questions about regulating street food and public health standards. As soon as the ban was imposed, the hearts of this dish’s fans were shattered. People in the Mapusa area in Goa will no longer be able to relish this tasty dish. Let’s delve into why this happened in detail in this article.
