Chicken Manchurian is an Indo-Chinese classic where crispy fried chicken balls are smothered in a tangy, garlicky sauce that is sweet, sour, and savoury all at once. This dish is a staple at every Indian-Chinese restaurant and makes an incredible appetizer or main course served over steamed rice or hakka noodles. The sauce comes together in minutes once the chicken is fried.

MediumPro Tips
- 1Keep chicken balls small and uniform for even cooking.
- 2The sauce should be glossy and thick enough to coat the balls.
- 3Serve immediately — the chicken softens if it sits too long.
Variations
- Make a gravy version by adding more water to the sauce.
- Use chicken breast instead of mince — cut into cubes and batter-fry.
- Add sesame oil for a nuttier flavour.
