i love indo chinese food. so much was my love for making chinese food at home that in my teens i would make three of my favorite indo chinese recipes often viz, chilli paneer, sweet corn soup and veg manchurian. along with this vegetable manchurian gravy, i also make dry vegetable manchurian recipe at home.

in this veg manchurian sauce i have added all natural ingredients. no msg or ajinomoto or no chemically produced soy sauce (have used naturally fermented soy sauce). while making any indo chinese recipe, i would suggest to use naturally fermented soy sauce.

the trickiest part in making veg manchurian are the veg balls. i have had some disasters with the veg balls. sometimes they would be perfect and sometimes they would all break up while frying. a mess which i hate when it happens and just imagine to clean up the oil and the pan.

so after much trial and error i have come to a perfect recipe for making the veg balls. so the veg manchurian recipe presented here is a tried and tested recipe, like all my recipes. the result was a yummy veg manchurian sauce that was excellent with plain rice. veg manchurian also goes well with veg fried rice, schezwan fried rice, burnt garlic fried rice, 5 spice rice or even bread or chapati or rotis.
