My musings and Savory Indo-Chinese for dinner

For a while now i have had this idea of having Indo -chinese for dinner . I kept on flirting with the idea of cooking it myself or ordering it from a restaurant. I must admit I absolutely love this cuisine and have absolutely no control over myself when it comes to treating myself to some Veg Machurian and Noodles. I can go out and have this for dinner every single night but i decided to challenge myself and experiment if i can curb my own craving. So without much further ado i present to you my version of #VegManchrian recipe.

Veggie Balls

1. Finely chop up some cabbage, carrot, celery and green beans in a mixer (a few pulses should be good).

2. Add some salt and set aside for 5 mins so that the veggies release their excess water.

3. Squeeze out the excess water out of the veggies so that it is easy to bind them with flour.

4. Add garam masala and some maggi masala to this veggie mix

5. Add 2 -3 teaspoon all purpose flour and 1 teaspoon corn flour per cup of veggies and 1 teaspoon oil.

6. Kneed the above mix well to bind well in a soft dough.

7. Make small bite-sized balls from this dough and put them in a baking tray . These balls are ready to be baked. Bake them in oven for 20 mins each side at 350 F

10. Add 2 teaspoon of tomato ketchup , 1 teaspoon of soya sauce ,1 teaspoon of vinegar and 1 teaspoon of green chili sauce and 2 teaspoon of water to the pan.

11. Add the veggie balls to the sauce pan and bring the mix to slight boil and add 0.5 cup of water
