Vegetable Manchurian

Ingredients

For Manchurian balls

Cabbage- 2 cups finely chopped
Carrots- 2 grated
ginger- 1" piece, chopped finely
garlic-2 cloves chopped finely
green chilli- 1 chopped finely
spring onions(scallions)- 1/2 bunch chopped finely
cornstarch- 3 tbsp
maida- 1 tbsp
salt to taste

Spring onions- 1/2 bunch chopped finely
ginger- 1/2" piece chopped finely
garlic - 2 cloves chopped finely
green chilli- 1 chopped finely
chilli powder- 1/2 tsp
Tomato sauce- 2 -3 tsp
Soya sauce- 2-3 tsp

water- 1 cup
salt to taste
oil-4 tsp

Method

Mix cabbage, cornflour,carrots,chilli powder, salt, cornstarch,maida,ginger, garlic and chopped spring onions together in a bowl(preferably with hand and no need to add water as the water from vegetables are enough to bind). Make small balls out of this mixture and deep fry in hot oil till golden brown.
For the manchurian sauce heat oil in a pan and add ginger, garlic and the white bottom portion of the spring onions. saute for a minute and add salt, chilli powder, tomato sauce and soyasauce. Add 1 cup of water to it and when it boils add the cornstarch paste.
When the sauce starts to thicken add the manchurian balls and immediately off the stove. Add the top green portion of the spring onions on top. Serve hot with Fried Rice. Check out the fried rice recipe here.

Prema --

Did you use cornflour or cornstarch? I see a lot of chinese recipes that use cornstarch.

Dear Prema,
when I opened your post my son who was sick and asleep , woke up and started crying. So I did not even read what it was. But that picture got stuck in my mind. After that I never got time to check it out.
Later that night, in my dream I guess that pic haunted my mind again. I started blabbering in my dream...but very clearly I told my hubby, " That kofta looks nice. Add some more water". He told me about it in the morning. I was so surprised. I'm usually not like this. After that the first thing I did was- checked your blog and found it was veg manchurian.
Anyway, I like manchurian more than koftas. The picture was so great. will try this recipe for sure. Thanks for sharing this.

Sharmi said...

waw lovely looking manchurian. while I was in India I used to love Chinese , as we get veg Chinese :) your pic looks out of the world. I always bookmark your recipes right from pal kozukatai. have to make them sometime. I make gobi manchurian but it does not look so awesome.

Prema Sundar said...

Hi,

I tried out your recipe and my manchurian balls came out tasting very well !!! Thanks so much...

I have a question though .. how are your manchurian balls so round .. should I use more cornstarch to get this and how come they are this shiny ???

Hi Prema, this is a wonderful recipe. I made manchurian from left over rice a few days back - recipe posted on my blog and I used the recipe for the gravy from your blog. It came out really nice. Thanks!

Unknown said...

What a nice blog, let me say that you have what some people call: ''writer's wood'', no really,
this could be the best thing i've ever read since that last post of ''Tabasco's Grill'' by Henry Townsend, i can't wait
for another masterpiece of yours!!!! =)
