    About Mushroom Manchurian

    Mushroom Manchurian is one of the popular Indo Chinese starter recipes. I love manchurian as a side dish for fried rice but not as a starter as I don’t have the habit of having starters / soups just dive straight into the main dishes.

    I have a love-hate relationship with mushrooms in the recent days. But still whenever I see white clean fresh mushrooms in pazhamudhir I cannot resist, I end up buying a pack as its rich in nutrients and a good source of vitamins too and helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels. Do try this mushroom manchurian and enjoy!

    Mushroom Manchurian Ingredients

    • Mushroom –  Choose tender fresh mushroom which will be perfect to use for manchurian.
    • Sauces – I have used soya sauce, chili sauce, tomato sauce for making the manchurian sauce.
    • Spring Onion, Garlic – Garlic and Spring onion adds taste and flavor to the manchurian. Do not skip it if you like Manchurian in restaurant style.
    • Onion, Capsicum – Onion and capsicum is cubed and used.
    • Pepper powder – Pepper powder adds spice to the sauce.
    • Flour –  Corn flour is needed to coat the mushroom & fry. Corn flour is used to make a slurry which helps to keep the Manchurian saucy & thick.
    • Oil – Use cooking oil that has no flavors.

    Expert Tips

    • Don’t skip spring onions as it gives a nice flavor.
    • Adding onions is purely optional, you can skip that too.
    • Marinating mushroom in the batter gives a nice firm outer layer.
    • Chili sauce and soy sauce forms the base for any manchurian. I used green chili sauce as I had only that, you can add the red chili sauce too.
    • The consistency is purely your choice, you can make it saucy like how I have did or make it dry too.
    • Always serve hot as it may turn soggy when resting time is given.
    • Adding corn flour water mixture is purely optional – this is just to make the sauce thick.
    • Make sure not to saute the veggies for a long time in the sauce as the veggies need to be crisp.
    • Don’t add more soya sauce than the mentioned amount else it will change the taste and make the manchurian more darker in color.
    • I have used button mushroom you can use any type of mushroom.

    Serving and Storage

    Mushroom Manchurian can be enjoyed as it is – it tastes divine and delicious. It can also be enjoyed with fried rice too. Mushroom Manchurian is best when hot, however you can store up to a day and heat it while serving.

      Hi Sharmi,
      I love your ricepes! I just wanted to know if I can substitute all purpose flour instead of corn flour? Or even corn meal instead of corn flour? If not, what can be used to substitute corn flour?

        You can try but cornflour gives crispness which will be missing if we add only maida…You can try with a combination of maida and rice flour….
