Chinese style vegetable balls in spicy hot garlic sauce are a delicious vegetarian twist on a popular Indo-Chinese dish. Finely chopped mixed vegetables are mixed with a savory blend of spices and flours to form bite-sized balls. These are then deep-fried until golden brown.

The real magic lies in the hot garlic sauce – a fiery concoction of aromatics like ginger, garlic, and chillies simmered in a base of soy sauce, vinegar, and a touch of cornstarch for thickening. Finally, the fried vegetable balls are tossed in this flavorful sauce, creating a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy flavours.

This one is a real fiery Chinese starter, perfect to get your meal off to a hot start! Make sure you serve the vegetable balls in hot garlic sauce immediately to enjoy the crispness of the vegetable balls. Accompany this manchurian in hot and spicy sauce with Chinese soups, stir-fries and noodles to create an authentic mini meal.

pro tips to make manchurian in hot garlic sauce: 1. Don't overdo the flour or cornstarch in the veggie mix. This can make the balls tough. 2. Ensure your oil is hot enough for frying. If the oil isn't hot enough, the balls will absorb too much oil and become greasy. Conversely, overly hot oil will burn the outside before the inside cooks through. 3. Add the Manchurian balls in the gravy just before servings and serve it immediately for the best flavours.

  1. To make Manchurian balls in hot garlic sauce recipe | Chinese style vegetable balls in spicy hot garlic sauce | Manchurian in hot and spicy sauce | in a deep bowl, add ½ cup grated cauliflower. Grated cauliflower adds moisture to the veggie mix, helping to bind the ingredients together and preventing the balls from becoming dry and crumbly. While cauliflower itself has a mild flavor, it readily absorbs the spices and seasonings you incorporate into the veggie mix, adding another layer of taste to the Manchurian balls.

  3. Add ½ cup grated carrot. Grated carrots provide some moisture to the balls, keeping them from drying out during frying. The texture of grated carrot offers a pleasant contrast to the crunch of other vegetables.
  4. Add ¼ cup plain flour (maida). The primary function of plain flour is to bind the chopped vegetables together. It acts like a glue, helping the shredded veggies form a cohesive mixture that can be shaped into balls.
  5. Add ¼ cup cornflour. Corn flour contributes to a crispy exterior on the Manchurian balls.
  6. Add 1 tsp ginger-garlic (adrak-lehsun) paste. Ginger garlic paste acts like a flavor foundation, adding complexity and essential savory notes that make your Manchurian balls taste delicious.

how to make Manchurian in hot garlic sauce
  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a broad non-stick pan.
  2. Add 2 tbsp finely chopped garlic (lehsun). Garlic is a key aromatic ingredient. When sauteed in hot oil at the beginning of making the sauce, the finely chopped garlic releases its pungent, slightly sweet flavor that forms the base of the sauce.

  7. Sauté on a high flame for a few seconds.
  8. Add 1½ tbsp schezwan sauce. Schezwan sauce packs a punch of Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, garlic, and other spices. It infuses the Manchurian balls and sauce with a complex savory, spicy, and numbing flavor profile.
  9. Add 1 tsp soy sauce.
  10. Add 2 tsp red chilli sauce. Beyond heat, some red chili sauces contain chilies with complex flavors that go beyond just spiciness.
