However, with this recipe, you’ll be able to make best vegetable Chinese dry manchurian you ever tasted.

Manchurian Recipe:
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients:
 
For Manchurian Balls
  • 1/3 cup Maida (all purpose flour)
  • 2 tablespoons Cornflour (corn starch)
  • 3/4 cup grated Carrot
  • 3/4 cup grated Cabbage
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped Capsicum
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped Spring Onion
  • 2 Green Chillies, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon + for deep frying Cooking Oil
  • Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Pepper Powder
  • For Spicy Sauté
  • 1 medium Red Onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup Green Capsicum (bell pepper), diced
  • 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped Ginger
  • 2 Green Chillies, slit and cut in halves
  • 1/2 tablespoon finely chopped Garlic
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped Spring Onion
  • 2 tablespoons Cooking Oil
  • 1 tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon Chilli Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Ketchup
Method:
  • Take a medium size bowl, add grated carrot, grated cabbage, chopped capsicum, chopped green chilli and spring onion followed by 1 teaspoon oil, pepper powder, maida, cornflour and salt.
  • Mix all ingredients properly. Prepare small round balls from the mix. Do not add water in the mix for making balls, as water released by vegetables will be enough to bind them. In case mix does not bind properly and small balls cannot be made, add some water in the mixture.
  • Heat cooking oil in a pan. When oil is hot enough to deep fry, add and deep fry raw balls on medium flame until they turn golden brown.
  • Drain oil from cooked balls and transfer to plate having paper towel spread on it (to remove excess oil from deep fried veg balls)

Directions for Saute:
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok (wide mouthed, thin-bottomed pan) on high flame. Add diced onion, diced capsicum, green chilli, chopped ginger and chopped garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until they become slightly tender. 
  • Add soy sauce, tomato ketchup, chilli sauce and salt; mix well.
  • Add fried manchurian balls and spring onion. Toss and cook on high flame for 1-2 minutes.
  • Best dry vegetable manchurian is ready.

Tips:
  • Do not add water in the mix for making balls as water from vegetables will be sufficient to glue together all chopped veggies. However, in case mix does not bind properly and small balls cannot be made, add 1 or 2 tablespoons water in the mixture.
  • We have avoided MSG (Ajinomoto) in this recipe to make it healthier and suitable for kids. However, you can add a pinch of Ajinomoto (MSG) while preparing veg mixture for balls to get authentic Chinese taste.
  • Garnish it with finely chopped spring onion for eye catchy appeal.
