    Paneer manchurian 

    Paneer Manchurian, my favourite. I love it to the core.. It goes well with pretty much anything. Fried Rice, Noodles, Naan, Chapati or even pulao.

    What is a Manchurian

    Manchurian is an Indo-Chinese cuisine produced by cutting and deep-frying ingredients including chicken, cauliflower, prawns, fish, mutton, and paneer, and then sauteing them in a soy sauce-flavored sauce. The modification of Chinese cooking and seasoning techniques to suit Indian tastes resulted in Manchurian. It has
    become a popular dish in Indian Chinese cooking. Paneer manchurian is a fried paneer and manchurian sauce Indo-Chinese appetiser.

    Ingredients for Paneer manchurian

    Soy Sauce : Sweet, savoury, spicy, sour, and umami flavours and tastes are all present in the sauce.

    Ginger Garlic paste : These two fresh spices can be a subtle flavour combination that elevates other ingredients, or they can be the dominant elements that give the dish its spicy but earthy flavour.

    Spring Onion : Spring onions taste milder, they rarely taste extremely pungent and can be eaten raw because of their sweet taste and tender texture.

    Green Chillies : Green chilies are used in this recipe to give it a fiery kick. The seeds and inner membranes of the pod could be removed to diminish the blazing hot flavour, as well as the heat of the pod.

    Paneer Manchurian Dry Preparation

    • Heat oil for deep frying.
    • Mix all the ingredients for batter to a little thick paste. The batter shouldn't be too thick or too thin. Dip paneer in batter and fry till golden. Drain and set aside.
    • Now lets make the sauce. Heat oil in a pan, add in onion, celery, capsicum, tomato along with some salt and sugar. Keep cooking till it gets golden brown.
    • Add in the ginger garlic paste and cook for 2 mins or so.
    • chilli powder and mix well
    • Add in water and bring it to a boil.
    • Add in ketchup, soy sauce, vinegar and mix well
    • Now add in little of the leftover batter or cornflour which is mixed with water and mix well, so the sauce gets thick.
    • Once it is thickened add the fried paneer and mix well.
    • Add in spring onion and mix well.
    • Serve.
    Hope you will give this a try a let me know how it turns out for you.

    When you are cooking any indo chinese meals like noodles or fried rice, you need a perfect sidedish with it. This is one of the easiest yet quickest dish you could ever make. It is made with paneer, similar to chilli paneer but you don't have to bother with making a batter. So it is kind of instant. So try this and let me know how it turned out for you.
