Vegetable Coins in Manchurian Sauce/ Veg. Manchurian

Vegetable coins or balls in Manchurian sauce is one of the best Indian Chinese dishes you can enjoy. This is my take to make it healthy so my family can have it guilt-free whenever wherever!


I usually use my food processor to chop my veggies really fine. You could use any chopper or even grate them or grind them but be sure to squeeze out some water else you'll need more flour.


Also, only add the coins/balls to the gravy minutes before serving. If you made the balls ahead of time, bake/air fry them again for around 5-7 minutes prior to serving to ensure they are crisp.


This recipe if made dry, can be used in frankies (Indian style wraps).
