Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan and deep-fry the balls, a few at a time, on a medium flame till they turn golden brown in colour from all the sides. Drain on an absorbent paper and keep aside.

Chinese dry Manchurian, which is one of the most popular Chinese dishes in India, is sold even in roadside food stalls and snack counters these days! This popularity is well-deserved, because the Veg Manchurian does have a zesty charm that captivates anybody who bites into one.

This veg manchurian Indo Chinese starter is a mixture of crunchy veggies shaped into balls and deep-fried, and then tossed with an assortment of sauces and flavour enhancers like ginger, green chillies and garlic.

Spring onions are a must to make dry veg manchurian, because it gives an authentic taste and aroma. Although the manchurian does not taste bad after cooling, we would advise serving it immediately while the flavours are vibrant and the textures are crisp and fresh.

You can also try other Chinese recipes like steamed wontons and spring rolls.

Tips for veg manchurian dry. 1. One speciality about this starter is the use of finely chopped veggies. Ensure you follow it for the best texture. 2. While shaping Manchurian balls, take small spoonfuls of the mixture in your hands and shape them into small balls. If the mixture is too sticky then you might have to apply a little oil on your hands before shaping them into balls. It is very important that the Manchurian balls hold their shape well. 3. Before frying all the Manchurian balls, try deep frying one ball in hot oil. If it doesn’t split, go ahead and fry the other Manchurian balls. If it disintegrates, sprinkle a little plain flour, mix again, shape into balls and then deep fry. 4. You can chop the veggies and keep ready. But the starter is best assembled and cooked just before serving.
