Veg Manchurian is a delicious Indo Chinese dish of fried vegetable balls that can be served with fried rice. There are two methods for making veg Manchurian.

  1. Veg Manchurian Gravy (With Sauce) - Delicious Chinese main course. It pairs well with fried rice, schezwan fried rice, or steamed rice.
  2. Veg Manchurian Dry - Serve as an appetizer or as a side dish with Hakka noodles or chow mien.

I make mini veg Manchurian gravy for you to serve with fried rice.

The fried vegetables balls are tossed and dunked in a sauce or gravy in the Veg manchurian gravy recipe. I use cabbage to make these veggie balls. Other vegetables, such as carrot, can be used. Take one cabbage and cut it up. Put the finely chopped vegetables in a bowl.

Then add the dry ingredients: 1 tablespoon corn flour, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (refined wheat flour), 1/4 teaspoon garlic ginger paste, 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste.

Mix and gather the entire mixture. Then mix and knead until the vegetables have left the water and you have a dough-like mixture. Gluten strands can form, giving the fried veggie balls a dense chewy texture. Simply mix thoroughly and press the vegetables to release their juices.

Then light the gas burner and place the pan. Then take a small portion of the veggie mixture in your hands, press and roll it in your palm, and make a round veggie ball. Make all the veggie balls this way and keep them aside.

In a kadai or pan, heat the oil for deep frying.

Place the balls in the hot oil with care. The oil should be medium-hot. If you use too much heat, the Manchurian balls will be browned on the outside but undercooked on the inside. Less hot oil causes the balls to absorb too much oil.

Fry the balls until crisp and golden, turning them over twice. Drain as much oil as possible with a slotted

After that, add the fried vegetable balls. Gently stir in the gravy and coat the fried vegetable balls. Then, remove all of the food from the pan and place it in a bowl. Veg Manchurian goes well with fried rice.
