Vegetabel Manchurian

This is my first post. My coworker Julia is big inspiration for sharing my recipes. She always share her treats and recipes with us. She is one of the most Selfless girl i know and i really respect her for that.

Recently i made Vegetable Manchurian as appetizer for some of my friends and i was asked if i could share the recipe.


So here goes the recipe for Vegetable Manchurian.

Ingredients:-

• 1 carrot

  1/2 cup chopped onion or 1 onion ( i used red onion but you can also use
  green onions)

  1/4 cup finely chopped ginger

  1/3 cup finely chopped garlic

  1/2 Cauliflower

  3-4 green chillies

  2 Tablespoons of All purpose Flour

  1/4 cup Water

  Oil for frying

  11/2 teaspoon Salt

  Black pepper powder

  cilantro

  1 tablespoon of tomato ketchup

  2 teaspoons of soy sauce

  1 teaspoon vinegar

Method:-

• Chop the onion, ginger and garlic separately and really fine. Due to
  shortage of time, i used minced garlic but fresh garlic is always better.

  Grate the carrot and Cauliflower and keep it aside. You can also add green
  beans and some other vegetables very finely chopped or finely grated.

  Take a bowl and mix the grated vegetables, finely chopped green chillies,
  all purpose flour, water, 1 tea spoon salt, 1 spoon black pepper powder. Mix all
  the ingredients finely with the help of water. You can add more water if
  required but make sure the batter is smooth and really thick. If you feel that
  batter is thinner, you can add little more all purpose flour for thickness.

  Grease your hands with little oil (i used canola oil) and make small balls
  of the batter and keep aside in greased dish or plate.

  Heat the oil (i used canola oil) in the frying Pan on the medium heat. When
  the oil is hot enough, deep fry the dumplings one by one and keep aside.

Sauce:-

• Take another pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil and heat it. Now add chopped
  onions to the oil and roast them for 2 min or until onions start turning little
  brown - do not over roast them.

  Add chopped ginger and garlic to the pan too and simmer for another 2
  minutes with constant stirring.

  Add 1/2 spoon salt and 2 finely chopped green chillies to the heating
  pan.

  Add 2 tea spoons of soy sauce, 1 tea spoon of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of
  tomato ketchup to the pan.

  Remove the pan from the heat and stir it for 1 minute.

  Now add the vegetable balls to the pan too and mix the balls in the
  sauce.

  Pour the whole thing in the serving plate.

Vegetable Manchurian is ready to be served. Garnish it with fresh cut cilantro leaves.
