To begin making Chicken Manchurian Recipe, in a mixing bowl, break an egg, add cornflour, soy sauce, pinch of salt and mix the ingredients well. Add the chicken pieces and mix until all the pieces are coated with the marinade mixture. Marinate the chicken pieces for the manchurian in the egg mixture and set aside for 1 hour.
The Chicken is flavoured with soy sauce, tomato sauce, ginger, green chilli, vinegar giving an authentic taste of chicken manchurian even without having the taste enhancer like ajinomoto commonly used in chinese recipes.
Let the gravy cook for 5-6 minutes. Once the gravy is done, add Chicken Manchurian balls in it and simmer for another 5 minutes. Your Chicken Manchurian is ready, garnish with spring onions and enjoy with hot steaming rice or noodles. Make sure you rate this recipe and leave a comment below.
Chilli chicken and chicken manchurian are 2 dishes that are made similarly but they taste very different. I had chicken Manchurian in a couple of fine dining Indochinese restaurants and had absolutely loved it.
