Description

Chicken Manchurian is one of the most beloved dishes in Indo-Chinese cuisine, known for its bold flavors and irresistible combination of textures. It features tender, deep-fried chicken pieces coated in a flavorful sauce made from soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and a touch of chili, making it spicy, tangy, and umami-rich.

This dish comes in both dry and gravy versions. The dry version is perfect as an appetizer or snack, while the gravy version pairs beautifully with fried rice, Hakka noodles, or steamed jasmine rice for a full meal.

Chicken Manchurian originated from the Chinese community in Kolkata, India, and has since become a favorite in restaurants and homes across South Asia. It’s fast to prepare, crowd-pleasing, and endlessly customizable with veggies, sauces, and spice levels to suit any palate.
