- 4. Heat oil in a wok.
- 5. Deep fry the veggie balls in the hot oil till golden brown. Then allow to cool.
- 6. It must be noted that the manchurian balls should be put in the gravy only at the time of eating or else they will get soggy.

- 11. Add a tbsp of cornflour mixed with 2-3 tbsp of water and mix well.
- 12. It must be noted to always add cornflour after the gravy comes to a boil because otherwise the dark manchurian gravy color will not come.
