Egg Manchurian

By Mita Mondal
Egg Manchurian features egg balls that have been deep-fried until crispy and then cooked in a spicy sauce. The process begins with boiling eggs, which are then cut into small pieces that get combined with gram flour, chilies, and powdered spices to create balls, which get deep-fried until they turn golden and crispy. The recipe uses sautéed onions and capsicum vegetables that are combined with soy sauce, chili sauce, garlic, and corn flour slurry to create a thick sauce and finished with chopped spring onions.

Notes

I use finely chopped garlic and chilies to make the egg balls for additional taste in every bite.
The dish reaches its best texture through perfectly fried golden egg balls.
I cook vegetables at a high flame because it maintains their natural color.
Overcooking vegetables will make them mushy as they will lose their crunchy texture.
You can add vinegar to your meal for a tangier flavor although I do not use it myself.
