Instructions

 

• In a mixing bowl add all purpose flour, crushed ginger, garlic, finely chopped onion, salt, soya sauce and all kinds of finely chopped vegetables and mushrooms. Mix them well and form a batter for making dumplings. Keep sliced vegetables to add in gravy.
  
• Heat oil in a pan for deep fry. Put ball shaped mixture into oil and fry till it turns golden brown. Remove from pan once done and place on tissue paper to drain out excess oil. After frying all dumplings, once again put the fried balls into hot oil for double frying. This makes the balls crispier.
  
• Heat a pan on medium heat. Put 3-4 tsp oil. Add crushed or finely chopped ginger, garlic, green chillies and spring onions. Sauté for 1 min. Add thin sliced onions. Stir for 1 minute. Put all sliced vegetables. Stir fry for 2 minutes or vegetables are done and crispier.
  
• Add 1 tsp of soy sauce, chilli sauce, tomato sauce, vinegar and ¼ tsp black pepper powder to the frying pan and sauté for 30 seconds.
  
• Then add 1 cup water and let it simmer for some time.
• In a small bowl add 2 tbsp corn flour and ¼ cup water and slowly add this starch mixture to the boiling gravy. It will thicken the consistency of the gravy. You can adjust corn starch mixture as per the consistency you require.
• If you want dry manchurian then add only ¼ cup water and add the corn starch mixture to it. If you want with gravy add ¼ to ½ cup water and simmer for some time. Season with salt as per taste.
  
• Add the fried manchurian balls to the gravy. Let it boil for 5 minutes. Turn off the gas and remove from heat.
  
• Garnish with spring onions and vegetable manchurian is ready to be served.
