Quick and Easy Soya Manchurian

Soya Manchurian is an Indo-Chinese recipe which is quirky and to be honest, new for me. I hadn't really heard of soya manchurian until my mother told me about it. The only manchurian I have heard about is Gobi manchurian. At first, I was a little sceptical about it because I had never had deep fried soya chunks before. I thought they would take on a rubbery texture and not taste good. But I was surprised when it was still soft and fluffy on the inside while being crispy on the outside. you know what?

The soya chunks become a little soggy after about 20 minutes, so you have to be quick while making the sauce/gravy. It is a pretty dry dish so I would classify this as a starter rather than a main. Side story: I thought it wouldn't be dry and I could serve it with roti, turned out I couldn't even ...

The ratio I find easy to work with is 1:4 for fat: sugar. You can use butter or ghee for your fat. Ghee has a little aftertaste(i realized this later) so butter works well too. Sugar takes time to caramelize, so don't speed up the process. It will only burn your sugar and you will end up with candy or sticky taffy-like situation. Trust me, it took me 3 tries to understand that. It is okay if your...
