Mixed Vegetable Manchurian

Instructions

For Manchurian Balls:

• In a bowl, take shredded cabbage.
• Add grated carrot, green pepper, and coriander leaves. You can add veggies of your choice like green peas, spring onion, etc.
• Add garlic, ginger, black pepper powder, and chili flakes. You can add chili sauce or soya sauce.
• Mix everything well together. Add maida, corn flour and salt. Mix well again.
• Mash boiled rice well and add it to the mixture. Boiled rice gives nice crunch to the Manchurian.
• Knead everything well into dough. Make small balls out of the dough.
• Heat up oil in a pan. When oil is enough drop the ball into it.
• Fry until it gets deep golden color from all the sides.
• Keep rotating the ball at intervals to get even color from all sides.
• When the balls are fried well, remove them from the oil, drain excess oil and put them on a tissue paper.

For Sauce or Gravy:

• Heat oil in a pan. Add garlic, ginger. Saute it for just 15-20 seconds.
• Add onion and saute it for just a minute.
• In a bowl take cornflour. Add in some water to make a paste. Mix well and cornflour paste is ready.
• Add whole green chilies and shredded cabbage. Saute it for just about a minute.
