Method

For making manchurian balls
To a bowl add grated cabbage, cauliflower, carrot, onion, capsicum, ginger, garlic and green chilly
Combine well and add required salt, pepper powder, corn flour and all purpose flour
Adjust the amount of all purpose flour so that you can roll out small lemon sized  balls out of the mixture
You can shallow fry or deep fry the manchurian balls in medium flame until golden brown in color.
Here i am using an appe pan/unniappa kara/ Paniyaram pan to fry the manchurian balls
For than heat an appe pan and drizzle some oil
Reduce the flame to low and place the balls
Cover and cook on low flame.  Flip sides until both sides turn golden brown in color
Once done take it out of the pan and keep aside
For making Sauce/Gravy
Mix corn flour in water and keep aside
To a pan pour oil and add finely chopped/grated ginger,garlic and green chilly
Saute for a minute and add chopped onion and capsicum
Saute till the onion becomes translucent
Now reduce the flame and add soya sauce, chilly sauce and tomato sauce
Combine well and add pepper powder.
Add corn flour water and let it boil
Add salt if required, vinegar and sugar and let it boil until the sauce becomes little thick
Now add the fried manchurian balls and boil for a minute
Switch off the flame and garnish with spring onion and serve hot with fried rice, plain basmati rice, roti or naan
Notes
Adjust the amount of pepper powder as per your taste buds
Adjust the thickness of gravy as per your wish by increasing or decreasing the amount of corn flour
I have used red capsicum.
If you wish to make dry manchurian make the sauce without adding corn flour water.  Make the sauce and add fried manchurian balls and coat it well in the sauce
