Is Chicken Manchurian a Chineses Dish?

The Indo – Chinese dishes are made so interchangeably, that you would be forgiven to think that it is a typical Indian dish. The restaurant menu without these dishes is quite unimaginable. Almost all restaurants would definitely serve the fried rice with it’s own twist to it.

Though the chicken manchurian is not an authentic Chinese recipe, but it has a lot of Chinese ingredients that are generally not used in Indian cuisine. Ingredients like soy sauce, tomato sauce, corn flour are all influenced by the Chinese cuisine. Hence this dish can safely be called as an Indo-Chinese dish.

Frying the chicken pieces

The coating for this chicken is what makes all the difference for the chicken manchurian dry recipe. Just the right amount of strong flavor without being overpowering. The chicken is coated with egg, corn flour, salt, and ginger garlic paste and fried till golden brown before adding them to the sauce.

Can you make the manchurian in a healthy way

You can, of course, make chicken manchurian in a healthy way. All you have to do is bake the chicken pieces instead of frying. Bake them until golden brown and reduce the amount of oil while preparing the base. And you can relish this delicacy in a healthy way too.

    This dish looks so amazing both Indian & Chinese foods are my weakness so I’m only assuming that an Indo-Chinese dish would be as well. Gonna make this soon!
