Veg Ball Manchuria
I love this dish, especially when Amma makes it... This is a simple recipe and this dish tastes great with Indo-Chinese noodles or fried rice. Amma made fried rice and veg ball manchuria the other day and sent these pictures:)
Ingredients:
To make the balls:
1 cup finely shredded cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup shredded onion
1/4 cup shredded capsicum
salt to taste
Freshly cracked pepper 1 tsp (vary according to taste)
1/2 cup corn flour
1/2 cup maida (all purpose flour)
Ginger 1 inch shredded
Garlic 2 cloves minced
Note: Maida and corn flour just acts as a binder to make the balls. You can add enough of the two flours just to roll out the balls. It entirely depends on the amount of water the veggies sweat. Don't have to follow strict measures.
To make the Sauce/gravy:
1 tbsp corn flour
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp red chilli sauce
1/2 tsp green chilli sauce
3 green onions/spring onions, finely chopped (bulb and shoots separated)
Ginger 1 inch shredded
Garlic 2 cloves minced
Salt to taste
2 tsp oil
To make the balls:
Mix together all the shredded veggies in a wide bowl.
Add the two flours and work into a thick sticky dough.
Roll out balls and keep aside.
Deep fry in medium flame till crispy. Keep aside
To make the sauce/gravy:
Add oil in a kadai, add ginger, garlic and saute till the raw smell vanishes.
Add the green onion bulb pieces and saute till transparent.
Add 1 cup water and allow it to boil
Introduce all the sauces at this point.
Mix the corn flour with 1/4 cup water to a paste.
Add this paste to the boiling mixture.
As the sauce boils, it will thicken.
Check for salt and add enough salt
Add the green onion shoots and put off the flame.
Drop the veg balls and allow it to soak in the sauce. Serve hot with fried rice/noodles!
