Tips To Make Restaurant-Style Vegetable Manchurian:

1. You can add a range of vegetables to your Manchurian. Some of the most popularly used veggies are garlic, onion, capsicum, carrots, celery and capsicum.

2. Mix together the vegetables, egg, flour, garlic and ginger paste, and enough water so as to have a thick batter. It is a good idea to leave aside the batter for 5-10 minutes.

3. Fry the dough balls until they become golden brown, do not over-fry them. Drain on absorbent paper.

4. Stir-fry garlic and onions till they have a nice glossy texture. Then add the capsicum and fry gently. Make sure you do this well, turn around the capsicum a few times; nobody wants to eat raw or undone stir-fry.

5. Next, add the sauce mixture, and simmer till the sauce gains somebody and becomes slightly translucent.

6. Finally, add the fried balls, turn around a few times and serve hot.

7. Serve with hot steamed rice, fried rice or noodles for best experience.
