Broccoli Manchurian

I tried broccoli manchurian just like how I make Cauliflower Manchurian. They turned out good too.

Ingredients :

For dumpling :

• Broccoli Florets
• Cornflour - 1tbsp
• Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp

• Salt - to taste
• Ajinomoto ( optional )
• oil ( sesame preferred ) - 4 tbsp
• Vegetable stock ( for gravy ) - 1 cup
• Cornflour. - 1tbsp

Directions to make the dumplings :

• Mix cornflour in water, add pepper powder, chilli sauce and ginger paste to the mixture.
• No need to add salt as you will have salt in the sauce, however if you wish you can add very little salt to this mixture.
• Dip the broccoli florets into this mixture so that they are coated from all the sides and deep fry them.
• Remove them from oil when they change color to slight reddish brown.

Directions to make sauce :

• In a wok, add sesame oil ( or vegetable oil ), heat it, and add finely chopped ginger, finely chopped garlic.
• Add chopped spring onions, green chillies, black pepper powder, soy sauce, chilli paste, ajinomoto, very little salt.
• The sauce is now ready for manchurian.

To make manchurian :

• Add the broccoli dumplings to the sauce and toss them.
• The sauce should be just enough to coat the dumplings on all the sides .
• Garnish with finely chopped spring onions.
