VEG MANCHURIAN

Veg Manchurian is one of the most popular Indo Chinese style dish and is a great dish to serve with fried rice or noodles. Its easy to make at home. During this lock down period, whatever ingredients are available at home, I have tried to make this recipe with them only. Spring onions are one important part for any Manchurian dishes, though I have not got the same, hence skipped. Try out this easy recipe and share your feedback if you like the same.


Ingredients:

For Manchurian balls:

1. Carrot (grated) - half cup
2. Cabbage (shredded) - 3 tbsp
3. Onion (finely chopped) - 1
4. Potato - 1 (boiled and mashed) - this is optional, I have added.
5. Green peas -1 cup (boiled)
6. Beetroot (shredded) - half cup (this is also optional, I had beetroot at home, so used)
7. Ginger garlic paste - 1/2 tsp
8. Capsicum (sliced) half cup
9. Salt to taste
10. Maida - 2 tsp
11. Cornflour - 2 tsp
12. Oil - for frying

For Gravy:

1. Oil - 2 tsp
2. Ginger - 1 inch (finely chopped)
3. Garlic - 3-4 cloves (finely chopped)
4. Chilli - 2 (clit)
5. Onion - 1 (finely chopped)
6. Chilli sauce - 1 tsp
7. Soy sauce - 1 tsp
8. Tomato ketchup - 1 tsp
9. Vinegar - 2 tsp
10. Black pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
11. Salt to taste
12. Water - 2 cup

For Slurry:

1. Cornflour - 2 tsp
2. Water - 1 cup

Process :

1. Firstly, in a mixing bowl, take all the ingredients required for making the Manchurian balls. Mix well making sure everything is combined well. Make a soft dough and prepare small ball sized balls.
2. Deep fry them in hot oil keeping the flame on medium. Stir occasionally, until the balls turn golden brown. Drain off the Manchurian balls and keep aside.
3. In a small bowl, take 2 tsp cornflour and 1 cup water, mix well forming a lump-free slurry. Keep aside.
4. Now in a frying pan / wok, heat 2 tbsp oil and saute ginger, garlic, chilli and spring onion (if you are using spring onions). Add onion and stir fry on high flame for 2 minutes. Further, add vinegar, soy sauce, chilli sauce, tomato ketchup and pepper powder along with salt to taste and stir fry making sure all the sauces are well combined. Add 1 cup water and boil on medium flame.
5. Now add the cornflour slurry and mix well, continue to boil until the grave thickens and turns glossy.
6. Add prepared veg Manchurian balls, some spring onions (I have used coriander in place of spring onions as they are not available at home this time) and mix well. 
7. Veg Manchurian gravy is ready to serve with fried rice or plan rice, whatever you like.
