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.

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?
SHARMILEE J
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….
