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.

Add in the ginger garlic paste and cook for 2 mins or so.
chilli powder and mix well
