Chicken Manchurian – It Can Only Get Better!

Chicken Manchurian – It Can Only Get Better!

Chicken Manchurian

Of course, I love chicken. And Chicken manchurian is something that I cook several times…but somehow missed posting this recipe! You know what? It only gets better the each time, slightly improvised than before. :)

Otherwise nothing much to rant with high spirits today…it has been a usual weekend…the shopping, gardening, cleaning, movies and books. And yes, some experiments in the kitchen. :)

Ingredients

Ground chicken  2-3 cups
Salt
MSG 1 pinch
White pepper 1 spoon
Food color – red 1 pinch
Garam masala 1/4 spoon
Soy sauce light
Corn flour
Egg whites from an egg
Lemon juice few spoons
Oil for deep frying

For Dressing

Tomato sauce
Soy sauce heavy
Hot sauce(optional)
Green Onions finely chopped
Green chilies 3-4 chopped
Garlic 7 cloves chopped
Ginger 2″ chopped
Corn starch (optional)
Bell peppers 1-2 diced
Sesame oil few spoons

Method Marinate chicken with salt, MSG, pepper, chili powder, food color, soy sauce, flour, garam masala, egg white and lemon juice. Maybe overnight or at least 2-4 hours. Divide them into equal parts. Now deep fry them in smoky hot oil, till golden to reddish brown.

In a separate pan, heat sesame oil. Add all the above mentioned ingredients and bring it to sauce consistency. Then add the fried chicken to it.Let the sauce coat well to all the sides. Remove from heat and serve warm as an appetizer.
