Veg Manchurian: 7 Secret Tips for Delicious Gravy (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Make the Manchurian Balls
- Squeeze the Veggies: Mix the grated cabbage and carrot in a bowl. Sprinkle a little salt and let it sit for 5 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water tightly with your hands. (Don’t skip this, or the balls will break in oil!)
- Mix: Add the capsicum, ginger-garlic paste, black pepper, maida, and cornstarch to the veggies.
- Shape: Bind it together into a dough. Do not add water. Form small, smooth bite-sized balls.
- Fry: Heat oil in a pan on medium flame. Fry the balls until they turn golden brown and crispy. Drain and keep them aside.
Step 2: Make the Sauce
- Sauté Aromatics: Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a wide pan or wok on high flame. Add the chopped garlic, ginger, and green chillies. Sauté for 30 seconds.
- Add Onions: Toss in the chopped onions (or spring onion whites) and sauté for a minute until they soften slightly but stay crunchy.
- Add Sauces: Turn the heat to medium and add the soy sauce, chilli sauce, tomato ketchup, and vinegar. Stir well for 30 seconds.
Step 3: Bring It All Together
- Thicken the Sauce: Pour in the cornstarch slurry. Stir continuously on medium heat until the sauce thickens and gets a nice glossy shine.
- Toss: Drop the fried Manchurian balls into the sauce. Toss rapidly on high heat for 1-2 minutes so the sauce coats every single ball perfectly.
- Garnish: Turn off the heat and garnish generously with chopped spring onion greens.
- Give your cornstarch slurry a quick stir and pour it into the boiling gravy while stirring continuously. Watch the sauce transform into a thick, beautiful glaze.
