Easy Chicken Manchurian

Rich with ginger and garlic and loaded with vegetables, my Chicken Manchurian dish is a great weeknight dish, perfect for a crowd.

People usually assume that any dish with Manchurian in the name is classically Chinese, but in actual fact Manchurian dishes are a Chinese – Indian fusion! One of the most popular Chinese dishes in India, this dish combines Asian cooking methods with a hint of the subcontinent. Some dishes add cauliflower or even paneer. For my version, I add plenty of yummy seasoning to the broth and thicken the sauce with a little corn flour so it coats everything in a wonderful silky glaze.

To make Chicken Manchurian, you will need the following ingredients:

So, how to make Chicken Manchurian?

Steps to make Easy Chicken Manchurian

1	Combine the flour and egg. Season the batter	1
Add the beaten egg to a bowl. Gradually whisk the flour, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cornflour, into the egg until you have a smooth batter. Add salt and pepper to the batter and stir in.

In batches, dip the chicken pieces in the batter until fully coated. Lay the pieces separately on a plate ready to fry.
3	Fry the chicken	15
Heat 1/2 an inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over a medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces in batches for 5-10 minutes, until cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
4	Cook the garlic and ginger	1
Add the ginger and garlic to the oil in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden.
5	Add the peppers and cilantro	1
Stir in the peppers and cilantro. Turn the heat down to medium-low.
6	Add the broth and seasonings	5
Add the chicken broth, soy sauce, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon and of black pepper to the peppers mixture and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring every now and again.
7	Add the yellow bell pepper	2
Add the yellow pepper to the mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
8	Water down and add the corn flour	1
In a small bowl, blend 1/2 a cup of water and 2 tablespoons corn flour together and then stir into the mixture.
9	Cook the sauce	1
Bring the sauce to a boil.
10	Combine with the chicken	1
Add the chicken to the sauce and give it a good stir to coat.

You can serve this Chicken Manchurian dish with a rice noodles or a pile of steaming rice. Just be sure to ladle the sauce over the top. Give this IndoChinese dish a go and come back to tell me how you find it!
