Instructions
To Make Veg Manchurian Balls
- To make the balls for veg Manchurian grate the cabbage and finely chop the onions, fresh beans, and capsicum.
- Now take a bowl and add all the veggies in them and add salt, black pepper, ginger garlic paste, butter, soy sauce, maida and cornflour in it.
- Now mix them all well together (use your hands if you want). When they are well-mixed drop some oil in your palms and take a small quantity of the mixture. Bind them and make lemon-sized balls and keep them aside.
- When all the balls are made heat a pan and add oil in it.
- When the oil starts to smoke gently drop the Manchurian balls and deep fry them until they are reddish brown in color.
- Soak the excess oil with a tissue and keep the balls aside.
To Make Manchurian Gravy
- To make the gravy heat oil in the pan and add onions, ginger garlic paste, green chilies and capsicum in it.
- Cook them for 3-4 minutes and then add soy sauce, red chili sauce, ketchup, water and salt in it.
- After that add black pepper in the pan and mix them all.
- Take a small bowl and add cornflour and water in it. Mix it with a spoon and gently pour it into the pan. Adjust the gravy as you wish with the consistency.
- Cook all the ingredients for another 3-4 minutes and then add veg Manchurian balls in them.

Notes
- Grate all the vegetables or chop them finely in equal size. You can use food processor or a simple grater.
- Do not use water while mixing the veggies. The vegetables will have enough moisture for binding them together. (Also corn flour and all-purpose flour will act as binding agent as well.)
- Too much cornflour may turn the balls hard after frying. So, mix them accordingly.
- Spice it nicely. I like to add few sauces which I use in gravy while making these veg meatballs. This helps in building a better flavour. These spicy balls taste way better than bland manchurian balls that are made with just salt.
