Vegetable Manchurian




What we need:-

For Veg Manchurian Balls

1/3 cup Maida (all purpose flour)
2 tablespoons Corn Flour
3/4 cup shredded Carrot 
 3/4 cup shredded Beetroot
3/4 cup shredded Cabbage
1/2 cup finely chopped Capsicum
1 finely chopped Green Chilli
1/2 teaspoon Pepper Powder
1 teaspoon + for deep frying Cooking Oil
Salt

For Gravy

2 teaspoons crushed Ginger
2 Green Chillies, slit and cut into halves
1 tablespoon minced Garlic
2 tablespoons finely chopped Spring Onion
1 tablespoon Cooking Oil
2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
1/2 tablespoon Chilli Sauce
2 tablespoons Tomato Ketchup
1 teaspoon Pepper Powder
2 tablespoons Corn Flour
2 cups Hot Water
Salt

How we make it:-

Take a bowl, add shredded carrot, shredded cabbage, shredded beetroot, chopped capsicum and chopped green chilli, 1 teaspoon oil, pepper powder,  maida, corn flour and salt. Mix all ingredients properly. Prepare small round shaped balls from the mix. Do not add water in the mix for making balls as water from vegetables will be sufficient to bind them. In case mix is not binding properly and small balls cannot be made, add some water in the mixture.
Heat oil in a kadai (pan). Deep fry prepared balls on medium flame until they turn golden brown.
Dissolve 2 tablespoons corn flour in a 1 cup normal water.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan. Add minced ginger, minced garlic, chopped green chilli and chopped spring onion. Sauté for a minute. Add soy sauce, chilli sauce and tomato ketchup; sauté for a minute.
Pour 2 cups hot water, pepper powder and salt. Let mixture boil for 1 minute.
Add dissolved corn flour in a pan. Mix all gravy ingredients properly. Cook it on low flame for 1 minute.
Add deep fried balls and cook for 3 minutes over medium flame.
Turn off flame and garnish it with chopped spring onion. Enjoy hot and spicy veg cabbage manchurian with Chinese fried rice or veg noodles.
