Egg Manchurian – Easy Low Carb Recipes

For the second day of Cooking for two, I have a very delicious low carb recipe. Though it is low carb, you can serve this even to your kids as this is really yum. I always make different type of manchurians for Sruti. Before going on the lifestyle change, even I used to love manchurian. But in a low carb diet, it is always better to stay away from deep fried items. Even store bought sauces are also avoided because of the sugar and chemicals. I came up with recipes for tomato sauce, green chilly sauce and red chilly sauce without any added sugar or chemicals (click on the names for recipes). These give the perfect flavour for any type of manchurian you make at home.

As I mentioned yesterday, the secret of making a dish for two without left overs is in measuring the ingredients before you cook. That helps so much in portion control. And as for manchurian, I wanted to make a simple base for it. Usually deep fried cauliflower, vegetable koftas or chicken are used as bases, but I used egg here. To make the egg base, the eggs are first steam cooked, sliced into cubes and added to the dish. With all the sauces that go into the dish, it tastes absolutely yum. You won’t even feel like you are eating a diet style manchurian. It is that good.
