Mixed Vegetable manchurian | How to prepare mixed vegetable manchurian at home | Healthy snacks at home

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


Ingredients for Veg Manchurian balls:

Grated Cabbage-1/2 cup
Grated carrot-1/2 cup 
Capsicum-1/4 cup
Beans-1/4 cup
Spring onion-1/4 cup(I have not used spring onion in below recipe)


For veg Manchurian gravy:
1 tbl spoon finely chopped garlic
1 tbl spoon finely chopped ginger
4 tbl spoon finely chopped onion
2 green chilli
2 tbl spoon coriander leaves 
1-2 tbl spoon of oil
1 spoon pepper powder
1/2 tbl spoon soya sauce
1 tbl spoon tomato sauce
3 spoons of red chilli sauce

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.



4) Once the veggie balls are ready, its time for deep frying them. Take a kadai and add oil and allow it heat.
once its heated enough, add the balls and fry. Remove the balls and put on tissue paper and let the extra oil drains away.



For corn starch paste:

1 tbl spoon corn flour
2 tbl spoon of water

5) In a small boul, add 1 tbl spoon of corn flour and 2 tbl poon of water and mix it thoroughly.


To make the veg manchurian gravy:

6) Take a small cup and add 1/2 spoon soya sauce, 1 tbl spoon tomato sauce, 2-3 spoons of red chilli sauce. mix well and keep aside.



7) Take a frying pan add oil and heat it.
 Add chopped ginger garlic and fry.
Add chopped onion and green chilli(green chilli is optional)

8) Add the prepared sauces mixture and corn floor paste, stir it.


9) Add pepper powder if you like the spicy taste. add salt. since sauces have already salt in it add salt accordingly.

10) Add the Manchurian balls. mix it thoroughly.

11) Add chopped coriander leaves and mix it and serve it hot
