Ingredients

For the manchurian:

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic chopped finely
  • 3 tablespoon big onion chopped
  • 1/2 medium sized capsicum chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon soya sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon green chilli sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper powder
  • 2 tablespoon tomato suace
  • 1/2 teaspoon cornflour mixed with 2 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon spring onions white part
  • 1 tablespoon spring onions green part
  • salt

Instructions

  • Rinse mushrooms, wipe it off with a tissue to remove the moisture then slice them thin.
  • In a mixing bowl mix all the ingredients under 'for the batter' add little water to form a thick paste.
  • Marinate mushroom in it for 15mins.
  • Deep fry them until crispy and golden brown. Drain them in a tissue.
  • Get all the ingredients ready for the manchurian.
  • Heat oil in a pan and add garlic and spring onions white part saute for a minute. Add onion saute until slightly browned,
  • Then add capsicum, half of spring onions and saute for 2mins. Let the onions and capsicum retain its crispiness and do not let them turn brown.
  • Then add soya sauce and mix well in high flame. Now reduce the flame and add green chilli sauce,tomato sauce and required salt.
  • Add cornflour mixture and bring the sauce to a quick boil. Add fried mushrooms, pepper powder and give a toss for the sauce to coat well.
  • Garnish with remaining spring onions green part, give a quick mix and serve hot.
  • Serve hot with any fried rice of your choice or just as a starter. Serve Mushroom Manchurian immediately before it becomes soggy.

Notes

  • Don't skip spring onions as it gives a nice flavour.
  • Adding onions is purely optional, you can skip that too.
  • Marinating mushroom in the batter gives a nice firm outer layer.
  • Chilli sauce and soy sauce forms the base for any Manchurian. I used green chilli sauce as I had only that, you can add the red chilli 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 sauté 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.
