Cooking steps for Egg Manchurian

  1. 1
    Let's prepare the egg Manchurian batter first.
  2. 2
    Take a big bowl. Add maida or all-purpose flour, half a cup of it and two Tbsp of cornflour.
  3. 3
    One Tsp of ginger garlic paste, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper as preferred. Add a little water at a time to the dry ingredients, mixing very well so that it becomes a thick batter.
  4. 4
    The batter should be thick enough to coat the eggs without dripping off. After preparing the batter, put it aside and prepare the eggs.
  5. 5
    For the eggs, hard boil four large eggs.
  6. 6
    Once the eggs are boiled to their desired state, take them out of the water and let them cool.
  7. 7
    Once cooled, crack off the shells of each egg and cut them into four pieces, making sure they are diced and can be dipped in the batter.
  8. 8
    Now that the eggs are ready, let's dip each of the cut pieces of egg in the prepared batter. See to it that the eggs get completely coated with the batter.
  9. 9
    Place the battered pieces of egg on a plate or tray.
  10. 10
    Heat oil in a pan to deep fry the pieces of egg. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the battered egg pieces a few at a time into the oil.
  11. 11
    Fry the eggs on all sides until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  12. 12
    This should take about 3-5 minutes, depending on the size of your pieces and the heat of the oil.
  13. 13
    Once they turn crispy, remove the egg pieces from the oil and let them drain off excess oil on paper towels.
  14. 14
    Put a wok or large frying pan on medium flame to make Manchurian sauce.
  15. 15
    Add a Tbsp of ginger-garlic paste to the pan and fry it for 1-2 minutes till fragrant. Now add some finely chopped bell peppers, onions, and green chillies.
  16. 16
    Stir-fry the vegetables for around 5 minutes till they become soft, slightly caramelised, and seasoned according to taste, losing none of their crunch or texture to the dish.
  17. 17
    Then comes the sauces for the saut ed vegetables. Add in 2 Tbsp of soy sauce, 1 Tbsp of vinegar, 1 Tbsp of tomato ketchup, and 1 Tbsp of red chilli sauce (you can add more if you want it to be as spicy as you would like). Now, stir everything together and let the sauces coat the vegetables well and properly.
  18. 18
    Add the fried egg pieces to the vegetable and sauce mixture.
  19. 19
    Gently stir it so the egg pieces are well coated in the Manchurian sauce.
  20. 20

FAQs

What is Egg Manchurian?

Egg Manchurian is an excellent Indo-Chinese recipe prepared with boiled eggs. It is a batter-coated, deep-fried egg boiled and tossed in a fabulous, spicy, and sour sauce. The sauce is made of soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and a mixture of aromatic spices and vegetables such as onions, bell peppers, and spring onions. The fried eggs become delectable with the sauces. The Egg Manchurian is typically taken as the starter or appetiser during a course of dishes. It can be served with fried rice, noodles, or purely with naan or roti.

Is Egg Manchurian healthy?

While egg Manchurian is a tasty dish, it is not healthy because of the deep-fried eggs and the gravy oil. Although eggs provide a good protein source along with essential vitamins, the frying process adds extra calories and fat. To make this Egg Manchurian healthier, try shallow-frying or baking the eggs instead of deep-frying them. Reduce the amount of oil used and decrease the soy sauce to lessen the sodium content of the sauce. You can also add more vegetables to the sauce for added nutrition and fibre.

How do I customise Egg Manchurian?

Egg Manchurian is easy to modify as per your taste. If you feel it is less spicy, add green chillies or increase the sauce's chilli sauce.
