If you ask us, potato is the most comfortable vegetable for us. A potato or two in the vegetable basket can be the answer for all our problems even at the weirdest hours of the day. And we just love how versatile and easily accessible the vegetable is. From comforting aloo jeera to the exotic gnocchi – we sneak in aloo in every dish possible. This is why we found a recipe that can help you whip up the popular desi Chinese dish – Manchurian with potatoes. Yes, you heard us. For this recipe, you can ditch chopping all other vegetables and resort to just a few potatoes.

At every Indo-Chinese food joint, we find Manchurian that includes deep-fried chicken, prawns, fish, paneer and cabbages. It is basically a semi-dry spicy dish, flavoured with soy sauce and a few other condiments. You can have it as is or pair it with fried rice or noodles. This aloo Manchurian gives a unique take on the regular veg/non-veg Manchurian recipe.

So, without further ado, let’s get into the recipe:

Step 1. Peel the potatoes and put them in a bowl filled with water. Keep another bowl with clean water by the side.

Step 5. After letting the Manchurian balls cool for a while, deep fry once more.

Step 8. Add onions and saute for a minute and bell pepper in it.

Step 9. Add black pepper powder and salt, spring onion and saute. Make sure the crunch of all the vegetables retains.
