Technique for Choosing Vegetables

For super crispy Manchurian balls, your veggies must be dry. Finely chop cabbage, carrots, and capsicum. Sprinkle some salt and leave for five minutes. Then, squeeze out all the extra water with a cloth before you mix the flour. This stops the balls from getting oily.

Fluffy, Non-Sticky Rice

The best fried rice has separate, fluffy grains. Cook Basmati rice until it's 80% done. Drain it and spread it on a wide plate to cool down. Just add a teaspoon of cooking oil and a few drops of lemon juice while it's cooling. This trick keeps the rice from sticking together and makes it look shiny.

Crispy Manchurian Balls

Mix equal amounts of cornflour and maida with your dry veggies. Add some ginger-garlic paste and pepper powder, then knead it without adding any water. Fry the balls on medium heat. For that restaurant-style crunch that lasts, 'double fry' them on high heat for a minute just before serving.

Secret to the Manchurian Sauce

Here's the secret to a tasty sauce. In a hot pan, quickly stir-fry chopped garlic, ginger, and green chillies on high flame. Pour in soy sauce, red chilli sauce, and tomato sauce. Add a cornflour-water mix to thicken it up. Once it's thick, toss in the fried Manchurian balls, mix quickly, and your spicy Manchurian is ready!

Fried Rice Stir-Frying Method

Real Chinese flavour comes from a 'wok' and high heat. Heat oil in the wok until it starts smoking. Throw in chopped garlic and veggies, and stir-fry for just one minute. It's very important to keep the vegetables crunchy.
