Veggie Manchurian

Hello!

Say Hi to Veggie Manchurian! The latest victim of my cooking adventures.

This was Ki's Appy Birthday Gift :D

The making has two important steps? One is Making the manchurian balls and the next is the gravy.

Here we go

What you need:

2 medium sized Onion

A small bunch of Beans

4 Carrots

1/2 a Cabbage

and somebody to chop the veggies :P

Oil for deep frying.

For the batter:
1/4 cup Besan
1/4 cup Maida
1/4 teaspoon chilli powder
1/2 teaspoon green chilli, ginger & garlic paste

A pinch of Salt
water as needed.

Split the chopped veggies into two parts, one for the gravy and the other for deep frying.

Mix all the batter ingredients together and knead.

Then separate them into small balls.

Heat the oil in the kadai and deep fry.

Keep aside

For the Gravy:

2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon of finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon of finely chopped ginger
2 tablespoons of finely chopped spring onion (optional)
1 tablespoon of finely chopped green chillies.
1 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons soya sauce
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornflour mixed with 1/4 cup water
1 cup vegetable stock or water
salt to taste

First sauté Ginger, garlic, chillies and the onion and the masala until they change colour.

Now add the remaining veggies in oil until they absorb the oil.

Keep them aside.

In a heavy bottomed pan, add 3 cups of water and and a tbsp of besan. Mix well, now add the vegetables and bring it to a boil.

Once it starts boiling, bring it to a lower flame, add the deep fried veggies in it.

Simmer until they absorb the sauce.

Take off the flame and serve hot.

The final product looks like this :D

Happy Eating :D
