35 Minutes

Veg Manchurian is a dish that no one can pass up, its a Indo – Chinese dish that is a flavor explosion in your mouth! It’s easier to make then you think, I ended up making this whole dish in under 35mins! I served it with my garlic fried rice but you can serve it with Hakka noodles as well or just plain white rice.

Instructions

Veg Manchurian

1. In a large bowl, mix the cabbage, carrots, scallions ginger + garlic and salt + pepper. Next sprinkle in the corn starch and all purpose flour along with the chili sauce. Mix everything together with your hands until it starts to form into a dough like ball. *Add more flour if needed.
2. Heat up a pot with 1inch deep oil. Roll out small balls and fry in small batches. Fry until the balls are golden brown and set them on a cooling rack.

Gravy

1. In a sauce pan, heat up the oil and add the onions and green chili. Cook for 1-2 mins on med high heat. Next add the ginger + garlic and salt + pepper. Cook for 30 seconds or until the ginger garlic is fragrant.
2. Add the ketchup, soy sauce and chili sauce. Stir until everything is well incorporated and add in the water. Bring this to a simmer and add in the cornstarch slurry. Bring this to a low simmer and you’ll start to see the gravy gets thicken up a bit.

Notes

• This is the chings red chili sauce I used, found this at my Indian grocery store.
• You can air fry the Manchurian balls, just preheat your air fryer and spray the balls with cooking spray. Air fry at 400F for 7-10 mins, turning half way.
• If you want a gluten free version, replace the all purpose flour with oat flour or GF flour.
