Chicken Manchurian Recipe

Chicken Manchurian is an adaptation of Chinese Sweet and Sour Chicken. In addition to Chinese seasonings some Pakistani spices are used to make it a little bit spicy. Manchurian is mostly served with plain cooked or fried rice. I has very little amount of oil which makes it very light and a little spicy sauce makes it very delicious in taste.
