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 to taste

Instructions

  • Rinse mushrooms, wipe it off with a cloth 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 15 minutes. Deep fry them until crisp 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 sauté for a minute. Add onion sauté until slightly browned,
  • Then add capsicum, half of spring onions and sauté 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 chili sauce, tomato sauce and required salt.
  • Add corn flour 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 immediately before it becomes soggy.

Notes

  • 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 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.
