This Manchurian recipe focuses on contrast; crisp vegetable balls paired with a ginger-heavy glaze that cuts through richness without overpowering the vegetables. The sauce is cooked just enough to cling, not drown, ensuring the balls stay textured. Ideal for starters, small plates, or Indo-Chinese spreads.
