Chicken manchurian is a delicious chicken delicacy which is a popular indo chinese cuisine shared with a step by step video procedure below.

Indo chinese is one of my favorite cuisines which I usually make at home as snacks or starter recipes… Chicken manchurian can always be made as an evening snack which will be loved by most of the kids.

Other indo chinese recipes:

• egg fried rice
• cauliflower 65
• chicken 65
• chilli chicken recipe

Chicken recipes in indo chinese form have amazing taste. They just use few ingredients like some sauces and the taste turns out amazing.

Indian version is made by adding some dry spices and to make it a chinese version sauces need to be added to make it as indo chinese recipe.

I would like to share many more chicken delicacies which are suitable as snacks and starters and also they can be made during the month of Ramadan for iftar snacks.

This serves best as a ramadan iftar snack and it can be made quickly during evenings which does not require many ingredients and can be made with the available sauces.

To make chicken manchurian, I have used boneless chicken, deep fried them in oil and then the fried chicken is sauteed in some sauces like tomato ketchup and green chilli sauce.

The taste of the chicken manchurian is so yummy and finger licking which can be eaten regularly without visiting any restaurant or any fast food centre to have them.

This recipe is available in most of the streets all across India but this recipe tastes as good as the one’s available in nearby fast food centres.

I tried this recipe, tested it and finally posting for my blog readers to try and give us the feedback.

 The chicken manchurian gravy form can be obtained by by adding more quantity of corn starch, soya sauce, water which gives us a gravy version.
