Classic Veg Manchurian

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated cabbage, grated carrots, finely chopped bell peppers, and finely chopped onions.

2. 2

   Add the all-purpose flour, cornflour, soy sauce, ginger-garlic paste, black pepper, and salt to the vegetable mixture. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.

3. 3

   Shape the mixture into small balls, about the size of a golf ball.

4. 4

   Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the vegetable balls and fry until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and add the remaining ginger-garlic paste. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.

6. 6

   Add the remaining soy sauce and 2 cups of water to the pan. Bring to a boil.

7. 7

   In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornflour with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Add this slurry to the boiling sauce and stir continuously until the sauce thickens.

8. 8

   Add the fried vegetable balls to the sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

9. 9

   Serve hot, garnished with chopped spring onions or cilantro if desired.
