- Garlic – 6, finely chopped
- Red chilli –1, broken finely
- Capsicum/ bell pepper – 1 cup, chopped cubed size
- Spring onion/scallion whites – ½ cup, chopped
- Soy sauce – 1 tbsp
- Tomato sauce – 2 tbsp
- White vinegar – 1 tsp
- Black pepper – 1 tsp
- Sugar – ½ tsp
- Veg stock or Water – 1 ½ Cups
- Salt – as required
- Oil – for frying the paneer (about 6 tbsp of oil)
- Scallion greens/ spring onions – for garnish for baby corn marinade:
- Baby corn – 200 gms
- Corn flour – 2 tbsp
- Ginger garlic paste – 1 tsp
- Salt and pepper as required for the corn flour paste:
- Corn flour – 2 tbsp
- Water – ½ cup
Instructions
- Cook noodles according to package directions. Most probably it would be to be boiling the noodles in hot water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and keep aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan over high heat. When it is hot, add cooked noodles and cook by swirling gently for 1 minute in medium heat. Gently peak under noodles by lifting the edges with a spatula and pushing the edges in towards the centre. Continue cooking, swirling until golden brown underneath. Then slide it onto a plate, and then flip it back into the wok to crisp the other side. Takes about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix the corn flour mixture under “for the corn flour paste” and keep aside.
- Mix all the ingredients under “for baby corn Marinade”. Mix it well so that the baby corn is coated with the marinade.
- Now shallow fry the baby corn cubes in hot oil. Drain and keep aside.
- Now take a pan, add the chilli flakes and scallion whites and stir fry the onions on medium heat. Make sure they do not burn.
- Add the capsicum and sauté for a minute. Add the soy sauce and tomato sauce, veg stock or water. Stir and simmer. After a minute or so, add the corn flour paste and let the sauce thicken.
- When it thickens, add vinegar, sugar, pepper and salt. Simmer for a minute. Add the fried baby corn cubes and switch off.
- Garnish with spring onion green.
Notes
1. If you want the Manchurian recipe dry, then do not add any water at any step.
2. When you add the cornflour paste, add it slowly as it easily tends to make lumps.
3. If you think the gravy is too thick for you, then thin it by adding little water. If you think you need more gravy, add the cornflour paste and water proportionally to it.
