Veg Manchurian or Vegetable Manchurian

For Making the Manchurian Balls

Take all the ingredients listed in to make manchurian balls(except cooking oil) in a big bowl.

Mix all together, but don’t mash with pressure otherwise vegetables will start releasing water.

Grease your palms with oil and make small and smooth balls from the mixture. (No need to add water in the mixture)

Heat oil in a pan and check by frying a ball first, and if it is breaking then add some cornflour or bread crumbs in the vegetable mixture.

Add balls first on high flame and then reduce flame to medium heat and fry few at a time. Avoiding crowding the pan.

Fry balls to a nice golden colour and then drain on a paper napkin.

Keep aside.

Sweet and Sour Sauce

In a bowl add corn flour and 1/2 cup water, mix well and keep aside.

Heat oil in a wok and add chopped or slit green chilies and ginger.

Saute for a few seconds, then add chopped capsicum and stir fry for few seconds.

Now add chopped cabbage and saute for a minute.

Add soy sauce,chili sauce and tomato sauce and stir for few seconds.

Add 2 cups of water or vegetable stock and give it a boil.(can adjust the quantity of water according to the gravy needed)

Now add sugar, salt and pepper powder and boil for approx 1 minute.

Add the water and corn flour slurry (made at step 1) and mix well.

Boil for a minute and keep stirring till sauce starts to thicken.

Now add the fried manchurian balls and vinegar and remove the pan from the flame.
