Hot And Fresh Chicken Manchurian by mbjohn

The Chicken Manchurian easy to make, which completes half the work. For gravy, it follows more of a Chinese style than an indo-chinese. Those who prefer the sweet taste of the manchurian, don’t add sugar. If there is chicken broth available, substitute the water with the chicken broth. Enjoy the recipe with the chicken fried rice.
“Desi Chinese” is probably a term that you have never heard before. The word “desi” is a direct reference to almost anything Indian (including person, place or thing). So essentially Desi Chinese is Chinese food Indian style. It’s the best of both worlds and simply delicious. It’s old world fusion cuisine at its best. Traditional Chinese dishes are prepared with aromatic Indian flavors and spices.
Chicken Manchurian is a favorite among fans, it is easy to prepare and tasty. Served along side stir fried noodles with vegetables or fragrant jasmine rice, it makes for a delightful meal. A vegetarian version can be made by easily substituting the chicken pieces with cauliflower florets (Gobi Manchurian).
There are many different variations of this recipe and I have tried most of them. The one below is my very own and a favorite in my house especially with kids.Combine all the ingredients mentioned for making the balls with the exception of oil. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Make 16 small lemon-sized balls of this mixture, squeezing out excess water to prevent breakage. Deep fry the balls a few at a time. Drain when golden brown and cooked.
For the sauce- Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add the ginger, garlic and green chilies. Fry over a medium flame for 1 minute. Add the Soya sauce, chili sauce, pepper, sugar, ajinomoto, stock and salt. Bring to a boil. Add the fried balls and cook covered on low heat for about 3 minutes. Add the cornflour mixed with water and stir continuously, so that the sauce become thick. Garnish with spring onion tops. Serve with rice or noodles.
