Serves: Makes about 25 balls
|
Ingredients: Balls Finely chopped 3 cups mixed veggies - cabbage, carrots, green beans, cauliflower, bell peppers (I got a pre-chopped mixed veggies from Trader Joes and ran it thru the food processor once more to finely chop them) 1 tblsp garlic powder/fresh garlic grated/minced 1 tblsp ginger grated black pepper to taste salt to paste 2 tblsp maida/all purpose flour 4 tblsp corn starch oil to fry Gravy 1 big onion - finely chopped 1 green pepper - finely chopped 1/2 cup finely chopped spring onions 2 tblsp garlic powder/fresh garlic grated/minced 2 tblsp ginger grated 3 tblsp soy sauce 1 tbpsp sweet chili sauce (I got from Trader Joes) 3 tsp Rice Vinegar 2 tsp ketchup 2 cups water 1 tblsp corn starch black pepper to taste salt to paste oil to stir fry |
Method:
Balls
- Mix all ingredients under balls and make round balls.
- Deep fry these balls at medium-high in oil. Keep aside. You can freeze these balls for later use as well.
Gravy
- Heat oil in a pan.
- Stir fry ginger and garlic.
- Stir fry onions and spring onions. Keep some spring onions aside for garnish
- Stir fry pepper.
- Add all sauces, vinegar and ketchup once the peppers are soft as per your liking.
- Add water, black pepper and salt and boil. Taste seasoning and adjust sauces and spices.
- Mix corn starch in a little water (1/4 cup). Add this slowly to the nicely boiled gravy while stirring. The gravy will start to thicken. Boil for some time. Note that the gravy thickens as it cools. So keep it on the more watery side. You can add more water mixed corn start if needed.
- Add manchurian balls before serving and heat thoroughly. Garnish with spring onions and serve hot.
