Instructions:
For the Cabbage Fritters:

2. Gradually add water and mix the ingredients to make a thick batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the cabbage, but not too runny.
3. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.
4. Take small portions of the cabbage batter and drop them into the hot oil. Fry the fritters until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
For the Manchurian Sauce:
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a separate pan or wok over medium-high heat.
2. Add minced garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for a minute until they become fragrant.
3. Add the finely chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for a few minutes until they become slightly tender but still retain their crunch.
4. Add soy sauce, tomato ketchup, red chili sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for a couple of minutes.
5. Add 1/2 cup of water and bring it to a simmer.
6. Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Cook until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Assembling:
1. Just before serving, add the fried cabbage fritters to the Manchurian sauce.
2. Toss the fritters in the sauce to coat them evenly.
3. Garnish with chopped spring onions.
4. Serve Cabbage Manchurian hot as an appetizer or as a side dish with rice or noodles.
