Instructions

1. 1

   Combine all the ingredients for manchurian except oil in a bowl. Add water little by little till the mixture comes together, but is not runny and is enough to bind the ingredients together.

2. 2

   Heat the appe (paniyaram) pan and brush each round mould with oil. Form the manchurian batter into 10-12 lime sized balls and add them to each depression. Depending on the size of your pan, this may take 2-3 turns.

3. 3

   Reduce the flame and cover and cook manchurian balls on slow flame for 8-10 minutes, turning them every 2 minutes. Once the balls are golden brown all over, remove and set aside.

4. 4

   Heat oil in a large wok or kadhai and add ginger, garlic and green chili. Stir fry for 30 seconds and add the chopped white part of the green onions.

5. 5

   Stir fry the green onions on high flame for a minute or two and add the manchurian balls.

6. 6

   Mix together all the ingredients mentioned under sauces and add that to the pan. Lower the flame, cover and cook for 2-3 minutes. This helps cook the manchurian balls from inside just in case they are still a bit raw.

7. 7

   By this time, the sauces should start thickening up. Add noodles, capsicum, snow peas and cabbage to the pan. Increase the flame and stir fry for 2-3 minutes till the sauce thickens up further and coats everything.

8. 8

   Top with chopped green onions and serve hot.
