Notes
- Don’t skip spring onions as it gives a nice flavour.
- Adding onions is purely optional, you can skip that too.
- Chilli sauce and soy sauce forms the base for any manchurian. I used schezwan sauce as I had homemade sauce ready but its optional.
- 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 sauté the veggies for a long time in the sauce as the veggies need to be crunchy.
- 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 used big soya nuggets , you can use the smaller ones too

Hi I am your ardent student. I have learnt many new recipes and easier versions of difficult recipes from this website. thank YOU for sharing it with us.. This Manchurian looks yummy but I read in many articles and heard it from many that Soya is not good for health. Can you please tell me whether soya chunks are healthy to eat esp for ladies.
