Why are my balls are crispy and the gravy is bitter in taste?
Response: Hello Yash, the reason behind crispy balls is the corn flour and the reason behind bitter gravy is the soy sauce. Excess amount of soy sauce makes the gravy bitter in taste, so be careful while measuring and adding the soy sauce.

Hey, thanks for the recipe.
I made this but my balls were so soggy but I did not add any water. So I added more Maida but they became hard after words.
I don't know what went wrong.
Response: Hello Zahra, the main reason behind the hard balls is the excess amount of maida.
Don't keep the shredded vegetables idle for long time as they release the water as time goes.
Make the mixture at the time of making balls. If you make it in advance, vegetables will release the water and the mixture will turn watery.
If the vegetables are releasing too much water, squeeze them a little bit before mixing with the other ingredients (maida and cornflour).

Response: Yes Nimrat, corn starch is necessary to thicken the gravy.

My sauce become very bitter in taste why please tell me.
Response: Hello Garmia, the main reason behind the bitter sauce is the excess amount of soy sauce. When you try this next time, use mild sauce and add leeser amount of it.

What should be the actual quantity of maida required to be mixed with 2 tablespoons of cornflour?
Response: Hello Nidhi, 1 cup maida = 120 gm. In this recipe 1/3 cup maida is used and so, 1/3 cup maida = 40gm maida.

Can we use rice flour in place of corn flour?
Or any other alternative to corn one?
Response: You cannot use
Jul 30, 2015 by dolly
I have prepared manchurian ball but it got tuff, quantity was 600 gm maida, 500 gm cabbage and 2 tablespoons corn flour.
Why are we using corn floor?
Response: Hi Dolly, you have added too much maida and that's why the manchurian balls turn hard. Corn flour (cornstarch) is added to get crispy outer layer.

The recipe works perfectly. however I did not deep fry cauliflower for health reasons. If I would have done it then recipe would be like restaurant style.
Novice to cooking and bachelors can also try this dish. It's far simpler than paneer dishes where we have to add right amount of salt and spices at the right time in right ratio to get the taste. It takes lot of experiments to learn paneer dishes but here we use sauces bought from store to get taste. Far simpler.

Thank you for your response to my earlier comment. I am perhaps going wrong with chilli sauce. Which brand do you use? I used Maggi chilli sauce - the red one -is that okay for this recipe?
Response: Hi Tulipz, I used "Ching's secret" brand chilli sauce and soy sauce in this recipe and all other Chinese recipes on this website. You can use any brand's chilli sauce but it should have chilli and vinegar as base ingredients. Do not use tomato chilli sauce.

I love your site and your dishes very much.

I tried it today. One of the best manchurians **I made***. My earlier trials were awful !
With this recipe, manchurian balls were perfect but the gravy didnt taste like the restaurant types. Is it because I skipped MSG? However, my 6yr old licked her plate up. So its definitely tasty :)
I like your site. Thank you!
Response: Hi Tulipz, thanks for trying the recipe. MSG is not used in gravy so if you do not add it, taste of gravy will not change.
The taste of the gravy depends on the sauces you have used in the recipe. Use the tomato ketchup which tastes mild sweet and do not change the quantity of any other sauce. Add more tomato ketchup or tomato sauce to get mild sweet taste and add more chili sauce to make it spicy.

MSG is bad, and it can cause complications that can lead upto nasty diseases like cancer.
Of course, I'll skip the MSG while preparing my manchurian, but I think it may be greatly beneficial if websites like this stop mentioning MSG in recipes.
Just a thought.
Thanks,
Rajesh.
Response: We agree with your suggestion and that is the reason why we have mentioned the MSG as an optional ingredient in ingredients table list and in the tips section as well.
