Basic manchurian balls

Manchurian has always got the first preference while choosing a starter. Many of us have a misconception of Manchurian falling under Chinese cuisine whereas it falls under Indo-Chinese cuisine. Those were the Indian taste buds which forced us to prepare this tempting dish 😆.



Ingredients:
  • ½ bowl shredded cabbage
  • ½ bowl shredded carrot
  • 1 cup shredded onion
  • 1 tbsp ginger paste
  • 1 tbsp garlic paste
  • 1 cups common flour (maida)
  • 1 cups corn starch
  • Namak Swadanusar
  • 1 tsp black pepper powder
  • Oil for deep frying

Method:
  1. Shred cabbage, carrots, onions in a bowl.
  2. Add all other ingredients and mix well.
  3. Bind it to a loose dough. Water released from shredded vegetables should be enough for binding. Avoid using extra water.
  4. Pinch out pakora size balls from the dough and deep fry them on medium flame till they turn brown.

Tip: 1) Use less flours (maida and corn flour) to get softer balls (note: Take extra care while frying as they may break due to less bonding)

Serving suggestions: If served as snacks, accompany it with schezwan chutney.
