Did you all plan what are you making this Super Bowl get together? Â If not, don’t forget to add Veg Manchurian on your list which is bursting with flavors of garlic, ginger, soy sauce.. Â I made this last year for my get together and it was a hit. Â I have been requested to make these quite often by my brother in law who is a foodie himself.
You can make the veggie balls ahead to save time which makes it easier the day of. Â Make sure you all give me your feedback on how you like it..
Ingredients:
For the Veg Balls:
- 2 cups cabbage, shredded
- 3 carrots, shredded
- 1/2 small cauliflower, shredded
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup corn starch
- 1/8 cup corn flour
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- salt to taste
- 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
- oil for frying ( i used Canola)
For the Sauce:
- 1 tbsp ginger, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp garlic, finely chopped
- 1 small-medium red onion, chopped
- 2 green chilies, sliced slanted
- 4 spring onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
- 4 tbsp soy sauce (i used mixed of dark and regular)
- 3 tbsp vinegar or to taste
- 1 tbsp of olive oil
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tbsp corn starch (mixed in water)
Directions:
Peel your carrots and set aside. Â Wash all the vegetables and let the water drain completely. Chop them using a chopper and take it out in a mixing bowl.
To the mixture of veggies, add chili garlic sauce, black pepper, corn starch, corn flour, a little soy sauce. Â Mix it all together and test it for salt. Â If needed, add a pinch of salt.
Now make the balls one at a time depending on how big or small you want to make. Â I made them bite size. Â If the mixture is not holding together, then you can add a little more corn starch.
Heat the oil for frying. Â Place one ball to make sure it is staying together, before you add a few. Â Fry them on low to medium heat. Â Drain them on a tissue so that the oil is absorbed.
To make the sauce, heat a tablespoon of oil. Â Add chopped garlic, ginger and green chilies. Â Saute for a couple of minutes. Â Now add, chopped onions and saute until they are slightly pink. Â Now add soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, ketchup, vinegar and a little water. Â Bring the sauce to a boil and add corn starch mixed with water to it. Â This will help the sauce to get thicker.
 Mix the veggie balls in the sauce so they are coated all over.  Place it in a serving plate and garnish it with green onions.
