Directions

First prepare the vegetable balls.

1. In a bowl, add finely chopped capsicum, grated carrot, finely chopped cabbage, finely chopped french beans and 2 tablespoons of spring onion greens.
2. Now add black pepper powder, a little bit of salt (not too much), 1/2 teaspoon of finely chopped garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of finely chopped ginger, 4 tablespoons of refined flour for binding purpose, 1/2 tablespoon of corn flour and 1/2 tablespoon of rice flour for crispiness.
3. Using hands, mix them all well and make a dough for which the vegetables needs to be pressed so that they can release some moisture in them.  You can add some more of refined flour if dough is not bind properly. 
4. When the dough is ready and I’m going to make small vegetable balls.
5. In a pan, add cooking oil on a medium flame. When the cooking oil is hot enough, drop the vegetable balls one by one. Fry the vegetable balls until they are golden brown in color.
6. When they are golden brown in color, take them out and transfer them to a plate.

Now I’m going to prepare the sauce.

1. In a pan, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
2. When the oil is hot enough, add 1 teaspoon of finely chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon of finely copped ginger and finely chopped green chilies. 
3. Sauté them for few seconds.
4. Now add 1 1/2 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of tomato ketchup, add a little bit of salt (not too much) because soy sauce will already be having some salt in it, add 1 teaspoon of vinegar, 2 teaspoons of schezwan sauce and 1 teaspoon of red chili sauce. 
5. Mix them well.
6. Add finely sliced spring onion bulbs and mix it well.
7. Add 2 tablespoons of water and give them a mix.
8. Add fried vegetable balls into the sauce and mix them well with the sauce. 
9. Finally, sprinkle a little bit of spring onion greens and give them a good mix. 

Alright, the Vegetable Manchurian Dry is ready to be served. Garnish it with some spring onion greens.
