Instructions for Vegetable Manchurian Balls Recipe - Indo Chinese Dish

To begin making the Vegetable Manchurian (Dry) recipe, we will first make the Manchurian balls.

Combine all the ingredients for the Manchurian, add just a little water if required and shape them into lemon sized balls.

Divide the mixture into 15 - 20 balls of bite size or a little bigger.

Preheat the Kuzhi Paniyaram pan; add a teaspoon of Figaro Pure Olive Oil into each cavity of the pan; add the Manchurian balls and pan fry them until browned and cooked from all sides. You can optionally drizzle more oil if you like it crisper.

Proceed the same way with the remaining Manchurian Balls and keep them aside.

To begin making the Manchurian Sauce, mix the cornflour with 1/4 cup of water or vegetable stock. Stir in the soy sauce, ketchup and salt.

Heat Figaro Pure Olive Oil in a wok or frying pan on high heat; add garlic, ginger, green chillies, spring onions and stir-fry for a few seconds.

Add the corn flour mixture to the above and cook for a few minutes until the sauce is thick and creamy. Turn off heat.

Just before serving, put the fried Vegetable Manchurian in the sauce and stir-fry on high heat for few minutes. Garnish with spring onion leaves and serve hot.
