Pro tips
- Do not add too much cornflour or maida to the vegetables, as it tends to make the balls too hard.
- Instead of frying the balls, I made the balls in the Appe pan / Paniyaram pan. Very little oil is added to make Manchurian balls in this pan so making the balls low calorie and healthy.
- Add veggies in the gravy too and get a shortcut to make the gravy easily in no time.
- Before adding water to the veggies for Manchurian balls, add salt. The veggies will release water, and you’ll have a better idea of how much water to be added for a thick binding consistency.
- For Manchurian balls either add: Maida +arrowroot powder or add cornflour powder.
- For the Manchurian gravy, mix prior to cooking in a bowl: Soy sauce +tomato ketchup+Red chili sauce + water.

Instructions
Machurian Balls: Makes 18
- Begin with, 1. Preps for Noodles: Keep water to boil the noodles in a deep pan. Add salt and oil to it. This will take time. Meanwhile do step 2-> 2. Chopp vegetables for Manchurian balls, sauce, and Noodles. For Manchurian, you need finely chopped. You may use a chopper (non-electric) to make it easy. and for Noodles, you need onion, capsicum, cabbage julienned or sliced. keep the spices near the counter for quick working. 3. Prepare Soy Sauce Mix: In a bowl, mix together soya sauce+tomato ketchup +red chili sauce +3 tbsp jaggery powder+ salt + pepper powder + 1 cup water. Keep this aside, we need this mix for the Manchurian sauce later. 4. Make a cornflour slurry with 2 tbsp cornflour and 1/2 cup water. Keep aside (Need to thicken the Manchurian sauce)
- Take all the chopped vegetables in a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients except water and mix well. Add cornflour, maida, spices.
- Once you add salt, the veggies will release water. After that you add a little water for consistency. The batter has to be thick to make balls. Make balls and put each in one cavity in a greased Appe / Paniyaram pan. Cook on both sides till golden brown. Keep them aside. Now while these are cooking in a pan. Ready the sauce.
Manchurian Sauce
- Heat oil in a deep pan. Add spring onion and garlic minced. (you may use garlic powder if available.) Saute for a few seconds. Add cabbage and capsicum. Saute for few seconds. Add the soy sauce mix prepared in a bowl (shown in step 3 above). Mix well and add 1.5 cups water more (250 ml). Stir well. Add the cornflour slurry prepared now. Mix well and keep stirring till the sauce thickens a bit. Now, add the Manchurian balls and mix again. Bring to one boil and shut the flame. Garnish with spring onion greens (finely chopped). Serve hot.
- I added the jaggery later, but you can add it in the sauce itself. Add water, slurry, and stir. Boil till sauce thickens. Then add the Manchurian balls and bring them to one boil. Shut the flame and serve hot. Garnish with spring onion greens.
Chili Garlic Noodles : Makes for 5 ppl
- Above in step one, we had put in water to boil for Noodles. Once the water comes to boil, boil the noodles till done. Sprinkle some oil and mix well to allow a non-sticky texture.
- Now, for Making the Noodles. Heat oil. Add onions. Cook till brown. Add capsicum and cabbage. Saute til soft. Add all the spices (red chili, onion powder, garlic powder, salt black pepper powder). Mix well. Ad 2 tbsp red chili sauce. Mix well. Shut the flame and then add 1 tbsp vinegar. Mix well and transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with spring onions greens.
