How to make Vegetable Manchurian

Step 1

Squeeze out extra water from cabbage and carrots. Mix them with cornflour, pepper powder, salt, all-purpose flour, ginger, garlic and chopped spring onions in a bowl.

Step 2

You can add more corn flour if you find it difficult to make balls. Keep the balls in the refrigerator for half and hour. Deep fry them in hot oil until golden brown. To make the gravy, heat oil in a pan and add ginger, garlic and the white part of spring onions.

Step 3

Saute on high flame for a minute and add salt, pepper, tomato sauce and soy sauce. Add 1 cup of water to it and when it boils add the cornstarch paste. As soon as the sauce begins to thicken, add the balls prepared earlier and remove from fire. Chop the green portion of the spring onion and sprinkle with the sauce. Serve with fried rice.
