5 from 1 vote
Veg Manchurian Gravy is like a Chinese Kofta Curry, the procedure is the same the ingredients are different. A Fried Rice or a Noodles is incomplete without a Manchurian Gravy. The crispy vegetable balls are cooked in the gravy made of flavorful stir fried veggies and spicy and tangy sauces combined together to form a nice thick silky gravy which compliments best with Fried Rice or Noodles

Notes

Manchurian Balls should be soaked well in the gravy sauce for better taste and flavors
Do not make a fine paste of the veggies for making Manchurian balls, it has to be coarsely grinded 
If you want to make a dry starter than skip adding water in the gravy
