Veg manchurian dry or vegetarian balls (Indian Chinese style)

One quarter of a medium sized cabbage (grated or run it in food processor)
one medium sized carrot  (grated or run it in food processor)
powdered pepper

Onions - 2 medium - long sliced

Take a shallow pan add two tea spoons of oil. Add the cummin, then the onions, green chillies and garlic and saute just a little. Add the sauces, honey and a quarter cup of water. Cook in medium , add salt , pepper, with about a little water left, add the food color and take it off the flame.

Heat oil for deep frying. Add the grated cabbage and carrot to a boil, add salt and pepper and mixed well. Keep adding the all purpose flour and knead it into a dough like for parathas. Make even small balls and just before frying roll them into a little flour and deep fry them.

Serve hot as appetizers or snacks...Enjoy!
