Mixed Vegetable Manchurian
Vegetable/Gobi Manchurian is one of my favorite snack item and many say that we should avoid eating it outside because of the factor that it might not be cleaned/or prepared properly with good oil..
I always used to think of preparing this dish at home and always stopped myself thinking that its a very complex process to prepare at home.
Definitely its little time consuming, but I would say give it a try when you are free at home or any weekends. Who doesn't like the Manchurian if its made at home...!!!
I have tried the mixed vegetable Manchurian here and you believe it or not..it came out very well and tasted good than the Gobi Manchurian version

Method:
1) Finely chop the vegetables. Grate the carrots. Take finely chopped vegetables in a boul.
2) Add 2 spoons of Maida, 1 spoon of corn starch, 1/2 spoon pepper powder, salt and mix.
3) Make small balls of vegetables. If the veggies are dry, unable to make the balls add 1 or 2 tbl spoons of water and make the balls. add 1 more tbl spoon of Maida if needed. Since veggies leave water and ball becomes soft be careful while adding water.
