 Chinese Manchurian or Gobi Manchurian recipe

Today we're going to see how to make a Chinese Manchurian recipe also known as Gobi Manchurian. In this recipe making dumplings is something similar to malai kofta to make the dumplings what I did, I finely chopped all the vegetables in my blender or you could also use a grater to finely grate all the vegetables just add all these ingredients basically I added very little water and kind of skimming these vegetables I want half cook and finally squeeze all the water see if you don't cook this vegetable is a little bit carrots and beans they made crispily and when you're trying to make these dumplings they don't bind well

let's look at these ingredients we're going to use to make these dumplings pepper powder, cornflour, chopped green chilly, spring onion, chopped ginger, soya sauce some chili sauce Ajinomoto and a little salt last but not least boiled rice now it hardly took two minutes off for steaming these vegetables what I'm going to do I'm going to drain the vegetables see take all your vegetables to squeeze them good so now whatever water that you squeeze this is kind of a vegetable stock so don't throw this we're going to use this to make our Manchurian sauce now add some salt very little Ajinomoto little chopped green chilli pepper powder chopped ginger a little soy sauce nice chilli paste some spring onion and they usually add egg in it but since of a lot of Indian vegetarians don't even touch an egg

so I won't show you without the egg so for this mixture to make without egg add some boiled rice to this mixture and mash it up . add a handful of cornflour once your mixture is ready just make small dumplings just drop one of these dumplings into the oil and fry it till it's slightly golden brown and by chance if your dumpling breaks just ask some more boiled rice to your mixture mash it up a little bit and then your dumpling will hold good on its own so

now let's fry the rest of the dumpling see when you add this Ajinomoto and some soya sauce to your vegetables it gives a nice unique flavor that what we associate to Chinese food but let me tell you why I was working in Maurya Sheraton in Delhi we were barred from using Ajinomoto because Ajinomoto is considered to be carcinogenic but it is truly not proven but definitely it is believed to affect babies under two years or so pregnant women please if you're eating Chinese food make sure that you ask for food without Ajinomoto today we're going to cover the Manchurian with dry like a snack and we're going to make the Manchurian sauce and then we're going to make it like gravy that you can eat with rice and also even we're going to cover how to make Gobi Manchurian which is cauliflower Manchurian which is very famous throughout.

what I did I took corn flour I added a little pepper chili sauce and a little chopped garlic and ginger and add a little water and made into a fine paste you don't need to add anything else in this just make sure that there is seasoning to it and mix well now look at these dumplings wow don't they look awesome so now look at this cauliflower florets don't they look really really beautiful to let'smake this fascinating Manchurian sauce for this chopped green chilli soy sauce chili paste pepper powder lots of chopped garlic and chopped ginger chopped onion and chopped spring onion salt Ajinomoto sugar you know if you have sesame oil go ahead and use otherwise you could use a regular oil I’ve got some sweet and sour sauce you know you can get it in the market if you don't have it you can just skip it this. This is is our vegetable stock whatever the vegetable we slightly steamed I squeeze out the water from it and we’re going to use this to make a sauce I’m going to use some cornflour and add some water to it and mix it.

So let's make this awesome Manchurian sauce. Add sesame oil I'm using some cumin seeds you don't have to use it and add chopped garlic chopped ginger chopped onion just half a cup, add chopped green chilli,  pepper, and soy sauce you can dd some more soya sauce  add sweet and sour sauce and chilli paste little Ajinomoto, salt watch out the soy sauce chilli paste and the sweet sauce all of the salt so add very little salt add spring onion half of it since I've added the sweet and sour sauce I'm not going to add sugar but if you don't have a sweet and sour sauce you add a little bit of sugar to this now your sauce is pretty much ready

now how do you make it dry Manchurian and Manchurian sauce so what I'm going to do I'm going to divide this sauce into two portions one I'm going half the quantity here so this one I'm going to use it to make dry Manchurian if you want dry Manchurian you don't need to add any cornflour anything just heat up the sauce a little bit and put your vegetable dumplings in the sauce nice coat the sauce and now our Manchurian dry is ready .

So now to our leftover mixture the vegetable stock we removed and kept it aside since I added the stock I may have to add a little more salt to it and maybe a little more soya sauce also now once this kind content gets slightly boiling just add some cornflour and it will thicken right away and then you can put your cauliflowers but make sure you add the cauliflower to the sauce just before serving and there's nice crunchy cauliflower with the nice sauce and rice makes an excellent dish for kids as well as grown-ups I hope you have enjoyed today's  Chinese Manchurian or Gobi Manchurian recipe blog.
