Chicken Manchurian Recipe

Chicken Manchurian is very famous dish from Chinese cuisine, it is prepared in variety of ways with different meats either chicken, prawns or beef. I usually make chicken Manchurian with pineapple because it enhances its taste many times and gives extra sweet flavor to the sauce. Vinegar is not used in this recipe since I used chili garlic sauce which has sweet and sour taste but you may add vinegar if you want more strong sour taste. This chicken Manchurian recipe is prepared in just under 30 minutes and best for 4 people serving.
