Veg Chilli
Description
Veg Chilli pairs crisp vegetable fritters—made from cabbage, carrot, beans, and onions bound in a light all‑purpose and corn flour batter—with a glossy, tangy Indo‑Chinese sauce. Aromatic garlic, ginger, onions, and capsicum are stir‑fried with chili powder, soy, chili sauce, and ketchup, then thickened with a cornstarch slurry. Tossed with the golden fritters and fresh spring onions, it delivers crunchy veggies in a spicy, umami‑rich glaze—best served hot with extra tomato ketchup.
