Vegetable Manchurian dry. Soft and delicious.

Vegetable Manchurian dry, is the appetizer recipe which is very famous and fun to make. It’s basically a combination of vegetables that are being finely chopped and mixed with some base ingredient to form a thick batter and out of which small balls are being prepared. Then these vegetable balls are being deep-fried until turn nice and golden brown in color. Looks beautiful and delicious 🤤 I must say. I personally enjoy these even without any sauce or gravy as a teatime snack 🙂

Well, the next part of the recipe is to prepare the Manchurian Sauce. The sauce is basically prepared using some green chilis, finely chopped garlic cloves some onions 🧅, some black pepper, red Chill flakes, soy sauce, tomato sauce 🥫 little bit of sugar, and more portion of spring onions. All these are sautéed well into some oil and tossed with some big pieces of bell peppers 🫑 added into it to add some color. Then finally the Manchurian deep-fried balls are tossed and coated well with this sauce. Covered and cooked for a while and done ✔️. Serve or enjoyed with some fried rice or anything that you like.
