Veg Manchurian – How to make Manchurian

Veg Manchurian is nothing but vegetable dumplings prepared in an Indo-Chinese style. This veg manchurian recipe of mine is gravy based, but you can try non-gravy version too, in case you are not a big fan of this soupy version.

The crisp and flaky outer shell formed by deep frying gives this a unique flavour. Filling can be made from many things, normally it is lentil, or onion but I have used green peas masala, hence the name. With each bite, you discover layers of crispness on the surface and then soft mushy masala peas in the core. This is a Vegan recipe too, hence Vegan delight 🙂

Stuffed Karela

This is one amazing dish, however people have pre-conceived notion “Karela” implies bitterness and not good in taste.
