Cabbage Manchurian | Gobi Manchurian | Cabbage Dry Manchurian

Gobi manchurian is a very popular Chinese dish made with cauliflower. I tried this recipe with cabbage today. Manchurian (gravy) is the best partner for fried rice and this dry manchurian can be had as a snack/ starter. It took less than 45 minutes for me to make this recipe. Let's see how to prepare this quick snack!

Ingredients:

For manchurian balls:
Cabbage - 1 cup, finely chopped
Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
Refined flour/ maida - 3 tbsp
Salt - as required
Oil - for deep frying

For seasoning:
Onion - 1 finely chopped
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
Soya sauce - 1 tsp
Vinegar - 1 tsp
Green chilli sauce/ red chilli sauce - 1 tsp
Tomato sauce - 1 tsp
Coriander leaves - few
Salt - as required

Method:

Mix all the ingredients mentioned for manchurian balls. If required sprinkle some water, since cabbage itself has enough water in it.

Heat oil in a kadai for deep frying. When oil is hot enough, fry the cabbage mixture in to small balls.

Heat oil in a pan, add chopped onion. Saute until onion becomes transparent. Add ginger garlic paste and saute until raw flavor goes off.

Add soya sauce, vinegar, green chilli sauce, tomato sauce & salt and mix well.

Now add the fried manchurian balls and coriander leaves to this mixture and gently mix. Cabbage dry manchurian is ready! Perfect snack for a rainy evening!

Note:

• Instead of soya sauce, vinegar & green chilli sauce, you can use finely chopped green chillies and hot n sour sauce (easily available in stores).
• You can try another variant by adding more vegetables like beans, carrot, potato to make vegetable manchurian.
• You can also add spring onions along with coriander leaves.
