Manchurian Recipe
250gm boneless chicken breast, cut into small cubes
Marinate the chicken in:
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp. corn flour
½ an egg (beaten) TIP: reserve the other half for the egg-fried rice
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. black pepper powder
pinch of red chili powder or flakes (optional)
pinch of sugar
1 tsp. soya sauce
½ tsp. ginger/garlic paste
Set this aside for about half an hour. Then fry until golden, do NOT over fry otherwise the chicken will turn hard. Remove and set aside.
Now to make the sauce you will need the following:
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp. chopped onions
2 tbsp. oil
1 tbsp. ketchup
1 tsp. tomato paste
½ tsp. ginger
½ tsp. garlic
salt to taste
1 tsp. sugar
½ cup water or chicken stock

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat the oil, add the whole red chili, ginger and garlic pastes followed by the spring onions and chopped green chili. Fry for a minute then add the tomato paste, ketchup, sugar and salt/pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then add the water/stock. Let it come to a simmer, lower the heat and add the corn flour paste. The sauce will instantly start to thicken.
