Manchurian gravy recipe

Ingredients: 
 
 For  Manchurian Balls: 
 
 1 cup chopped vegetables (cabbage, carrots, peppers, etc.) 
 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (mainda) 
 1/4 cup cornstarch 
 2 tablespoons of chopped onion 
 1 tablespoon ground ginger 
 1 tablespoon minced garlic 
 1 tablespoon of soy sauce 
 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder 
 Add salt to taste 
 Oil for frying

For the sauce: 
 
 1 tablespoon of oil 
 1 tablespoon ground ginger 
 1 tablespoon minced garlic 
 1/4 cup  chopped onion 
 1/4 cup finely chopped paprika 
 2 tablespoons of ketchup 
 1 tablespoon of soy sauce 
 1 teaspoon of chili powder 
 Mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch  with 1/4 cup of water 
 Add salt to taste 
 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper powder 
 Chopped chives for decoration

Instructions: 
 
 In a  bowl, combine the grilled vegetables, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, minced onion, minced ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, red chili pepper, and salt. Mix well into a sticky paste. 
 Form the mixture into small round balls. Heat oil for frying in a deep pan or wok. Fry the manchurian balls in batches until golden brown and crispy. Drain them on a paper towel to remove excess oil. 

 Heat 1 tablespoon  oil in a separate pan or wok. Add ground ginger and garlic and fry for a while until fragrant. 
  Add  chopped onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry on high heat for 2-3 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crunchy.  Add tomato ketchup, soy sauce and chili sauce. Toss well to coat the vegetables. 
 Make a slurry by mixing cornstarch with water in a small bowl. Add this slurry to the pan and stir constantly to thicken the sauce. 

 Season with salt and black pepper. Adjust the consistency by adding water if necessary. 
 Add the fried manchurian balls to the sauce and gently toss  to coat  evenly. Simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes  to allow the flavors to blend. 
  Garnish with chopped spring onion.

Smart Kitchen Gadgets Under ₹2,000 That Will Change How You Cook Daily

The Indian kitchen has always been a space of remarkable culinary intelligence — generations of cooks who could calibrate the heat under a pressure cooker by sound, judge the readiness of oil by dropping in a single mustard seed, and time a perfectly layered biryani by instinct alone. But intelligence in the kitchen does not mean resistance to tools that make that intelligence more efficient, more consistent, and more enjoyable to apply. The right kitchen gadget does not replace culinary skill — it removes the friction that stands between your skill and the result you are trying to achieve.

Pickle and Papad Business From Home: Investment, Profit and Where to Sell in India

Every Indian household has at least one person whose pickles or papads have been quietly famous among family and neighbours for years. The mango achar that disappears within days of being made. The papad recipe that gets requested at every family gathering. The lemon pickle that a neighbour once said she would pay good money for.

In 2026, "pay good money for" is no longer a throwaway compliment — it is a business model.

Regional packaged foods — pickles, papads, murukku, namkeen, chakli — are booming as consumers on quick-commerce platforms and ONDC specifically seek regional, homestyle brands over mass-market products. A regional speciality gives a natural differentiation that large brands like Mother Dairy and Priya cannot easily replicate. The aunty's garlic pickle from Pune, the avakaya from an Andhra home kitchen, the urad dal papad from a Rajasthani grandmother's recipe — these carry an authenticity that no factory can manufacture.

This guide walks through the complete picture: what it costs to start, how profit actually works, what licences you need, and exactly where to sell your products in 2026 — from your neighbourhood WhatsApp group to Amazon and everything in between.

Jalebi Recipe

Step 1 Prepare the Jalebi batter and let it ferment overnight


To make this easy Jalebi recipe, mix together all-purpose flour, cornflour and baking soda in a bowl. Now, add ghee and food colour to the above mixture. To make a thick batter add hung curd and water. Mix well until it is thick but has a slightly flowing consistency. Keep it aside for 8-10 hours to ferment. This step is important to give that unique "khatta" taste to Jalebi. To make the sugar syrup, heat water in a pan over medium flame. Add sugar and mix until fully dissolved. Simmer the syrup until it attains one string consistency. Add saffron, cardamom powder and rose essence. Stir well.
