This Indo-Chinese delicacy is being loved across the world and traditionally made with vegetables and all purpose flour.

But here we are presenting the healthy Manchurian alternative with oats and not  just without all purpose flour but these are oats Manchurian without deep frying as well. It is so because this low oil evening snack with oats is made in the Air Fryer.

Using oats instead of maida is a smart, fiber-rich choice which makes this snack recipe so healthy. And if someone dislikes oats, he too can enjoy this recipe for the reason that he will not be able to identify that it has oats in it.
What to say of the recipe as a whole but only the crispy oats vegetable balls are so delicious that you can eat them as a dry snack without going for the gravy.
