(Manchurian – the safest bet on the menu!)
There are 2 kinds of people in this
world – One who order different stuff whenever they go and eat out, and the
second kind who order the same thing over and over – Which one are you??
I am kind of stuck in the middle. I
order different stuff every time but I do ensure that it is close to whatever I
enjoy.
I remember once we were out for
dessert and some one ordered Turkish Espresso Shots. Ha Ha I can never in a
million years forget the expressions! It was like she was having “tears of Satan”.
Hats Off she finished all three!
Well there are something’s that you
can’t go wrong with ever, like the good old Manchurian.
From what I have observed even the
pickiest of eaters tend to enjoy this particular dish/recipe. It is usually
available easily and normally you don’t have to spend big bucks. If you are
attempting this at home, it involves very basic ingredients and you can easily,
like really easily make it at home! Authentic taste – promise!!
Sooo boyses and girls, here I have
for you Fish Manchurian! Ditto for chicken, but trust me it’s better and way
tastier with fish.
Oh and yes please take note of the
lame food styling that I have tried to do, still learning L These are magazines from my childhood that I still get from
time to time. Titled as FRIDAY, and obviously we use to get them delivered to
us on Fridays. Covered almost everything and was amazing to read.
You can check it out here, if
interested.
…and yes here is the recipe.
Ingredients and Method
In a bowl, take ½ kg boneless
fish/chicken. Add 1 tbsp of ginger garlic paste, 1 egg, 3 tbsp cornflour, 1 tsp
black pepper, Mix, coat the meat and fry and set aside!
Next in a wok, over low heat – 2 tbsp
oil, 1 tbsp ginger garlic paste – fry for a while. Add 5 tbsp ketchup, ½ cup
water, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp vinegar, 1 tbsp sugar and cook for a while.

In a cup mix 1 tbsp cornflour and ½ cup
