METHOD:

VEGETABLE BALLS

1.       Mix together the cabbage, carrots, onion and capsicum. Add salt to it and leave it aside for 15 – 20 min. the moisture from the vegetables will start to ooze out.

 

 

 

2.       Sprinkle little cornflour at a time and simultaneously mix. Repeat till the consistency is such that you can make them into balls.

 

 

3.       Roll them all up to make balls a little smaller than ping pong sized balls.

 

 

4.       Deep fry them in hot oil till golden brown. Remove on kitchen paper.

 

MANCHURIAN GRAVY

1.       Finely mince the ginger, garlic and green chillies or coarse grind them.

2.       Heat oil, add the minced ginger, garlic and green chilli.

3.       Lightly fry them in oil till they change a little colour and it stops giving off raw flavour.

 

4.       Add in the water, soya sauce, M.S.G, salt and sugar. Bring to a boil. Now add in the capsicum and carrots as it boils.

 

5.       Dissolve the cornflour in 2 – 3 tbsp of water and pour it into the pan. The gravy will thicken. Adjust the consistency. Now add the vinegar.

6.       Drop in the prepared balls and garnish with spring onion greens.

7.       Serve hot with noodles, or fried rice.

8.       If you do not want the gravy and want to make it dry then reduce the water and cornflour to half and proceed as mentioned above.

9.       As you drop in the balls the moisture will be absorbed making them dry Manchurian balls.
