- Mince all the vegetables. You can use a food processor or chopper to finely chop all the vegetables.
- Do not add any water to bind the vegetables with the flour. The moisture in vegetables are enough to bind with flour and there ingredients.
- Adjust the flour if you feel the vegetable mixture is too watery.
- The vegetable dumplings take more time to get deep fried in oil. So be patient and keep the flame in low while deep frying. This will ensure the dumplings gets cooked properly without getting burnt.
- Adding Vegetable stock for sauce is optional, We can use plain water itself. Vegetable stock certainly gives more flavor than plain water.
- Add the fried dumplings to sauce only before serving. Or else the dumplings become very soggy.

- When the stock/water starts to boil, add soy sauce, chilli sauce and tomato ketchup. Mix everything well. Bring the gravy to boil.
- Meanwhile, mix the corn flour with ¼ cup of water and add it to the gravy. Adding cornflour makes the gravy thick in consistency. Remove gravy from flame.
