Chicken Manchurian at Dakshin Indian Bistro
What is Chicken Manchurian?
Chicken Manchurian is a popular Indo-Chinese dish known for its savory, tangy, and slightly spicy flavors. Tender pieces of chicken are deep-fried until crispy and then tossed in a flavorful sauce made with soy sauce, ginger-garlic, green chilies, onions, and bell peppers. The dish is seasoned with a perfect balance of spices like vinegar and chili sauce, which create a rich, umami-packed coating that complements the crispy chicken. Chicken Manchurian can be served as a starter or main course, pairing perfectly with steamed rice, fried rice, or noodles. Its bold, vibrant flavors and crunchy texture make it a favorite at any gathering or special meal.

Homemade Chicken Manchurian Recipe
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 500g boneless chicken, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 1/4 cup cornflour (cornstarch)
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp ginger-garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp soy sauce
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Salt, to taste
- Water, as needed
- Oil for frying
For the Sauce:
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup bell peppers (capsicum), chopped into small cubes
- 2-3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp ginger, finely chopped
- 2-3 green chilies, slit
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tbsp tomato ketchup
- 1 tbsp red chili sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp cornflour (optional, for thickening)
- Salt to taste
- Fresh coriander leaves for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces with cornflour, all-purpose flour, ginger-garlic paste, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt.
- Add enough water to make a thick batter that coats the chicken pieces evenly.
- Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer. Fry the chicken pieces in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Make the Sauce:
- In another pan or wok, heat 2 tbsp oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
- Add the chopped garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the bell peppers and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly while retaining some crunch.
- Stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, and red chili sauce. Add sugar and mix well. Let the sauce cook for 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve 1/2 tsp of cornflour in a little water and add it to the sauce. Stir until it thickens.
Combine and Serve:
- Add the crispy fried chicken pieces to the sauce and toss gently to coat them evenly in the sauce.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to soak up some of the sauce.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve Chicken Manchurian hot with steamed rice, fried rice, or noodles for a complete meal. Enjoy the rich, tangy, and spicy flavors in every bite!
