Directions

Crispy Manchurian Chaat combines the popular Indo-Chinese Manchurian balls with the vibrant, flavorful elements of Indian chaat. The crispy vegetable balls are coated in a sweet and savory Manchurian sauce, then topped with yogurt, chutneys, sev, and chaat masala. This recipe brings the perfect balance of crunch, spice, and tang, making it a perfect dish for parties or a delicious snack any time of the day.

The Crispy Manchurian Chaat can be made vegan with a few simple adjustments:

Manchurian Balls: Ensure you’re using plant-based ingredients for the flour and cornflour. The cabbage, carrots, and spring onions are already vegan-friendly.
Manchurian Sauce: The sauce is typically vegan, but check that the soy sauce and chili sauce do not contain any non-vegan ingredients like oyster sauce (some varieties may have it). You can use vegan-friendly versions of these sauces.
Yogurt: Replace the regular yogurt with a plant-based alternative like almond, soy, or coconut yogurt.
Chutneys and Toppings: Both the tamarind chutney and green chutney are usually vegan, but always verify the ingredients. You can also check that the sev is vegan (most varieties are, but some may contain dairy).

Once these adjustments are made, the recipe will be entirely vegan!

Steps

1 Done	Prepare the Manchurian Balls • In a mixing bowl, combine chopped cabbage, grated carrots, spring onions, green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, black pepper, cornflour, maida, and salt. • Mix well and form small balls. • Heat oil in a deep frying pan and fry the Manchurian balls until golden brown and crispy. • Drain on paper towels and set aside.
2 Done	Prepare the Manchurian Sauce • In a pan, heat oil and sauté ginger-garlic paste until fragrant. • Add chopped onions and cook until they turn soft and translucent. • Add soy sauce, red chili sauce, ketchup, vinegar, and sugar, and mix well. • Pour in the water, season with salt, and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes. • Add the fried Manchurian balls to the sauce, mix gently, and cook for a minute so that the balls absorb some sauce.
