Being a foodie, I always experiment with different ways to create simple and easy dinner meals for a busy week night. With some cabbage and shredded carrots sitting in my refrigerator, thought of a yummy and hearty dinner recipe.
Prepared veg manchurian balls, chopped some veggies, boiled some rice and I was on my way to prepare a delicious – Veg manchurian rice recipe. This full flavored one pot meal is loaded with colorful combination of veggies, spicy sauces and veg manchurian balls.
By looking at the recipe, it may look like a lot of work, but believe me it’s actually pretty simple and easy. Once veg manchurian balls are cooked, set them aside. Chop veggies of your choice, saute them, mix in the sauces, rice and your dish is ready. As per one’s taste sauces in the recipe can be adjusted. Like it extra spicy, stir in more chili garlic sauce.
When veggies are half cooked, add cornflour mixture and this will give veggies a thick sauce like consistency. Mix in manchurian balls and coat them well in this sauce. Finally mix in boiled rice, adjust seasonings and veg manchurian rice is ready.

Putting manchurian in a rice and making a pulao out of it is really creative. Kudos to your ideas and will surely try it!
Thanks for stopping by Subhi! Do give it a try and if possible share your experience with me. 🙂
Your recipes are very easy to understand. Honestly, I am a huge video fan but I am checked your website you visuals are far better than a video. Thanks Ruchi for putting in so many pics and your pics load very fast. Tried my hand on manchurian rice and came out perfect and yummy. My kids loved the meatless meatball rice. Thanks, thanks and many thanks to you!!
Thanks for your lovely feedback. Glad to hear that you enjoying my recipes. Keep checking back for more. 🙂
Hi Ruchi,
The receipe looks yum.. Is it possible to bake the manchurians? If so, could you please mention the temperature?
Thanks Sunitha! You gave me nice idea for my next recipe post. In fact I have tried the baked method and it is equally good and tasty. Preheat oven @350 degree F, arrange the manchurian balls in a baking tray or muffin tray and bake for 30-40 minutes. For a deep brown color, BROIL manchurian balls for 2-3 minutes BUT KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE, do not leave them unattended as they will get burned. 🙂
Lovely reciepe
Thanks dear. 🙂
I was wondering what i would do with leftover Manchurian balls from the party. And hey.. It’s brilliant idea to make Manchurian fried rice!! Thank you soooo much.
You are welcome Karishma. I’m pleased you found the recipe helpful. 🙂
This came out very well! I was frying your veg manchurian and was feeling too lazy to make fried rice separately. I came across this recipe, and it worked wonderfully. I think it would make a great potluck dish as well.
Sometimes the quick fixes work pretty well. Glad you liked the recipe and thanks for trying it.
Thanks for the recepi which i m looking for…
You are welcome. 😊
