A long time ago, my husband and I had these fantastic veg balls in hot garlic sauce at a restaurant in India. Since then, we have conducted so many experiments to achieve that flavourful sauce and now, I can say that we have successfully developed a wonderful-tasting hot garlic sauce.
Here I am going to share the recipes for both-

How to Make Air-Fried Veg Balls-
First, we have to grate all the vegetables we are going to use. You can use a food processor, but I prefer a grater (call me old-fashioned.) The next step is to remove all the water from the vegetables by straining them in a cheesecloth. Now is the time to add ginger, garlic, green chili, soy sauce, cornstarch, and maida. Grease your palm with little oil and make veg balls of the same size. I wanted to see the difference between air-fried balls and deep-fried veg balls, so for that, I made a big batch of vegetable balls. 1st batch- Air Fry…Air Fry them at 370 F for 10-12 minutes. Turn it over once. Do not overcrowd the air fryer.
There is not much of a difference between Air Fried Veg Balls and Deep Fried Veg Balls- see for yourself!

Important Points to remember–
—Do not use too much cornflour or all-purpose flour in making the balls. If your veg balls are breaking, add a little until you can form them. -After chopping/grating vegetables, squeezing the vegetables is really important. The use of a cheesecloth or kitchen towel is suggested. –Do not mix veg balls and garlic sauce together until just before serving- otherwise, they will be soft and break easily. –There are no strict rules in making this sauce though it’s advisable to use the recipe in order to achieve the taste. You can tweak the recipe according to your personal preferences and tastes.
