Chicken manchurian is a delicious chicken delicacy that is a popular Indo Chinese cuisine shared with a step by step video procedure below. Indo Chinese is one of my favourite 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.

About manchurian

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 Manchurian using chicken, 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 feedback.
