Vegetable Ball Manchurian

The most lovable recipe I like is Manchurian. Where ever I eat, I will surely order any Manchurian for starters. I recently had Vegetable Manchurian in Truly India restaurant at London. I just loved that recipe much.

I tried the same recipe and it came so good. I would like to share it with all my friends.
 Ingredients:

For Vegetable Ball:

Cabbage grated - 1 cup
Carrot grated - 1 cup
Cauliflower grated - 1 cup
Onion grated - 1 cup
Spring onion chopped - 3 tablespoon
Green chillies chopped - 3 tablespoon
Garlic grated - 2 table spoon
Ginger grated - 1 table spoon
Soya sauce - 2 teaspoon
Pepper - 2 teaspoon
Salt - to taste
Cornflour - 2 table spoon
Cooked rice - 2 table spoon
Oil to Fry

For gravy:

Oil - 2 tablespoon
Spring onion chopped - 2 tablespoon
Green chilli chopped - 2 teaspoon
Garlic chopped - 4 teaspoon
Ginger chopped - 2 teaspoon
Capsicum chopped - 2 tablespoon
Onion - 1 finely chopped
Soya sauce - 4 teaspoon
Chilli sauce - 1 teaspoon
Tomato sauce - 3 teaspoon
Sugar - 1/2 teaspoon
Pepper - 1 teaspoon
Salt to taste

All ingredients for gravy should be finely chopped



Method:

1. Add all the ingredients except oil mentioned for making balls into a mixing bowl . Mix and mash it well to make balls.
2. Heat the oil in pan and fry only one ball. Check whether the ball breaks, if so add some more cornflour and rice to the mixture and mix well to make balls.
3. Once all the balls are ready, Fry the balls in hot oil to 50%. i.e., Fry the balls until outer covering is cooked as shown below.



4. Allow the balls to cool.
5. Again deep fry all the ball at high flame.
4. Once fried, keep all the balls aside.



5. In a separate sauce pan, heat the oil mentioned for gravy.
6. Add finely chopped garlic. Sauté it until it turns golden brown.
7. Add green chillies, onion, ginger one by one and sauté all until onion turn transparent.
8. Finally add capsicum and sauté it. All vegetables will turn crispy once sautéed. Now add soya sauce, chilli sauce, tomato sauce, pepper and mix well.
9. Once gravy is thicken, add a pinch of salt and sugar.



10. Now add the fried balls into gravy and mix it, such that all balls are coated well with gravy.
11. Now Finally add chopped spring onion and mix it.
12. Serve it in a bowl as starter.



Now Spicy and tasty Vegetarian Manchurian is ready to serve :).

Hint: The balls are fried twice, so that it won't absorb oil much. Vegetable balls should be mixed and fried immediately. If not hard portion get formed at the middle. This is because of addition of cornflour.
