Instructions

For Manchurian Balls:

• Grate carrot, cabbage and beans (optional) in a bowl. 

• Squeeze out water from the grated vegetables (this water can be used in gravy). 

• Now add chopped ginger and garlic, salt and pinch of pepper. Add corn flour and all purpose flour little by little (just enough to form a proper bonding). We don't want to add extra flour else the taste will be more of flour than of vegetables. You don't have to add water as vegetables are moist enough to form a proper bonding. Mix it well.
  

• Now take small portion at a time and form balls. (Apply oil in your palm while doing so). 

• Now deep fry them till it is golden brown.
  

For gravy:

• Heat oil in a pan and add chopped ginger, garlic and green chilies.
  

• Now add chopped onion and spring onion whites. Wait till it is little translucent.

• Add chopped capsicum and cook for 1-2 minutes

• Now add all sauces
  

• Add around 2 tablespoons of corn flour in half a cup of water and mix well. Now add the mixture in the pan. Add another 2 cups of water and let it cook. Add salt to taste (consider sauce that was added as that also contain salt) and pinch of black pepper.
  

• Add vegetable balls in the gravy
  

• Garnish it with spring onion green and server hot
