3. Grease hands with oil and prepare ball sized manchurian balls. Coat with crushed maggi to get an extra crispy bite. Deep fry in medium hot oil, keeping the flame on medium. Stir occasionally and fry until the balls turn golden brown. Drain off and keep aside.

Now add tomato ketchup, chilli sauce, soy sauce, vinegar and salt as per taste. Further add cornflower slurry and mix continuously making sure the sauce thicks and turns glossy. Pour 1 cup water and mix well. Stir and boil until the sauce thickens slightly.
