  Method of Preparation
  


• First, we will make Manchurian Balls.
  
  In a mixing bowl put all the vegetables:


• 1 cup grated Cabbage, ½ cup grated Carrot, 5-6 finely sliced French beans, ¾ cup Green Onion, ½ cup Bell pepper, Chopped into very small cubes.


• Mix all the vegetables and rub little salt to all vegetables.


• Put Chopped green chilli. Put 3 tbsp Cornstarch and mix well. Use 1 or 2 tsp water if needed. The mixture should be thick and sticky.


• In a deep fryer, heat enough oil for deep-frying. With spoon or hand, drop teaspoonful of mixture in heated oil. Deep fry until it turns to brown colour. If we drop little bigger amount of mixture, it will remain uncooked from inside.


• Use vegetable stock for Manchurian Sauce, as it gives nice flavour. You can use water instead. Use a shallow saucepan to make this sauce.


• Heat 2 tsp oil; add Chopped green chilli, Chopped Garlic, Ginger paste and sauté for approximately 30 seconds.


• Add Sugar, Soy Sauce, and 1 ½ cup Vegetable Stock. Bring it to boil.


• Mix 1 tbsp Cornstarch to ¼-cup water, remove all lumps. Put this mixture to vegetable stock. It will give nice thickness to Manchurian Sauce. Add little more corn starch if needed.


• Then add salt to taste, Vinegar and stir well. Taste the sauce, add if any ingredient required according to your taste.


• On low flame, add Manchurian Balls into Manchurian sauce. Mix them well.
  Garnish with finely chopped Green Onion, thinly sliced Bell pepper and cabbage.
