chicken manchurian dry recipe

Some of you might remember the gobi (cauliflower) manchurian I made few months ago. Since then, I’ve been thinking about its popular non-vegetarian version made of chicken. So after a very long wait, I finally made it. It’s hard to explain how much I love this recipe because it’s just awesome!

If you know anything about me, I’ve a huge fascination towards Indo-Chinese dishes. Now, who can resist the delectable flavor and aroma of Chinese sauces? So, to be honest, I just couldn’t wait to share this chicken manchurian dry recipe with you.

This chicken manchurian bites are absolute pieces of heavenly goodness. It’s one of the best chicken appetizers I ever had! Every single minute you spend making this dish is worth it.

While the sauces, soy sauce, tomato ketchup and chili sauce in this manchurian dish makes it Chinese, chili powder and green chilies adds that Indian spice touch.

The marinade used in this chicken manchurian dry recipe is pretty simple. Ginger, garlic, green chilies, egg, chili powder, black pepper and soy sauce make the chicken super flavorful. On the other hand, the flours keep it really crispy on the outside when fried.

The best way to cook this chicken is frying. However, you can bake them at 200 C for about 45 minutes. Although baking is the healthiest way to go, I recommend frying for the perfect crisp outside and moist inside result. For the final touch of lip-smacking deliciousness, toss the chicken bites in a mixture of sauces.

So next time you want to make a party appetizer, think about this killer chicken manchurian dry recipe. It’s just AWESOME!.
