The Mapusa Municipal Council is not the first civic body in Goa to declare war on Gobi Manchurian.
Gobi Manchurian, a fusion dish that typically features cauliflower florets coated in a fiery red sauce, has long been a favourite among food enthusiasts. However, concerns over synthetic colours and hygiene made Mapusa, a city in Goa, ban the dish from stalls and feasts, TOI reports.
The Mapusa Municipal Council is not the first civic body in Goa to declare war on Gobi Manchurian. In 2022, during the Vasco Saptah fair at the Shree Damodar temple, the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) issued instructions to the Mormugao Municipal Council to restrict stalls selling Gobi Manchurian. Prior to this directive, the FDA had conducted raids on such stalls in an attempt to curb its prevalence.
Gobi Manchurian finds itself at the centre of a cultural clash between local culinary preferences and a dish that has gained widespread popularity over the years.
