Avoid Mistakes At First Attempt of Making Dry Veg Manchurian Recipe

  • While making veg manchurian balls, add very less amount of flour, otherwise balls become soggy.
  • You can also add some more seasoning like soya and chili sauce into balls
  • Only cabbage and carrot combination is also goes best for making Manchurian balls.
  • I avoided the red food color and soda to make it healthy.
  • Fry the balls in medium flame, if you turn your gas on high flame, then may b your balls looks brown form outside, but it should be under-cooked from inside
  • The gravy consistency can be more watery if you like more saucy form. To achieve it, add less corn flour with water.
