Directions

For Manchurian balls

    Take cabbage, green onion, carrot and capsicum in a food processor. Chop them very very finely.

    Take chopped veggie mixture into muslin cloth (I use man’s handkerchief.) and squeeze out all the water. Use you all energy and squeeze out properly for firm Manchurian balls.


    Take them in a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, all purpose flour and corn flour. Mix well.
    Make small balls. Press it tightly and then shape into ball.

    While you mixing ingredients for balls heat the oil for deep frying on medium heat. You have to work quickly because as you do slowly more water will come out from veggies. Once oil is hot deep fry them.


Keep shaping into balls while 1st batch is frying.

    Remove them on paper towel lined dish.

Make sauce

    Make paste by mixing corn flour and water. Keep aside.

    Heat the oil in pan for sauce.

    Once hot add ginger, garlic, green chilies, celery. Sauté them for a minute.

    Then add soya sauce, sugar and salt. Mix well.

    Add vegetable stock. And bring it to a boil.

    Stir corn flour mixture and then add it to sauce. Let it cook for few minutes or till it thickens.

    Then add vinegar. Mix well.

    Add green onions. Switch off the stove.

    Add fried Manchurian balls, garnish with green onions and serve immediately.
