I have blogged Baked Version of Veg Manchurian earlier. It is one of the most popular Indo-Chinese dish, comparable to American Meatballs in popularity. Manchurian is of many kinds amongst which, Veg, Chicken, Mushrooms, Cauliflower are some of the common varieties. It is originally a deep fried dish.
Veg Manchurian is made with grated vegetables which are bind together with some corn flour(starch), seasoned with ginger, garlic, chili and soy sauce and then deep fried in hot oil. It can be served as dry as an appetizer, coated in a thick, hot and spicy sauce or as a curry along with rice with more saucy base.
For the benefits of main ingredients on diabetes, used in the dish, please refer to the Foot Notes!

Foot Notes
If you are thinking that how it is diabetes friendly, then here are few facts to study!
- A quintessential Deep-Fried dish is created in Appe pan cutting down on the negatives of the fried food.
-
Though this dish uses corn starch/flour which is a refined form of a grain, but the quantity is so less as compared to the fiber rich vegetables that are used in the dish, like cabbage, cauliflower and carrots. So when the net carb exchange is considered, it can be easily adjusted. But do not exceed the recommended portion of 3 pieces only!
-
Cabbage, Cauliflower and Carrots belong to the non starchy vegetables. Non starchy Vegetables are full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals—and with so few calories and carbohydrate, everyone can enjoy more! To know more about the non starchy Veges food facts, click here!
