Tips

  • Always allow the sauces like vinegar and soy sauce to burn, so try pouring the sauces on the side of the pan or wok, so that the sauces sizzle and burn from the side heat, and then mix the rice which is placed at the centre accordingly.

  • Avoid using regular onions or mushrooms or any other vegetables that leave water, it will definitely make your Fried rice moist….

  • Make sure the rice is left over and refrigerated one day prior in the refrigerator Or else your fried rice can get moist if you use fresh rice.

Main Description.

Corn soup is a soup made of corn, typically sweetcorn. Initially popular only in corn-producing areas of the world, the dish is now widespread because of greater corn distribution.

Typical ingredients are corn cut from the cob, water, butter and flour, with salt and pepper for seasoning. Additional ingredients vary by region, and may include eggs.

I just love and can have soups on a daily basis, and this one is my life time favorite soup.
Whenever I visit restaurants this soup is always on top of my list or rather this is the only soup I always ordered out.

  • Add always Carrots first as it takes slightly more time to cook and Capsicums last while adding your veggies.

  • You can completely avoid using chicken and follow the instructions to make this with veg noodles, as there is enough Chili chicken Gravy on the side…. Cheers

Main Description.

History of Manchurian Recipe

Nelson Wang (born 1950) is an Indian restaurateur of Chinese descent and the founder of a restaurant in Mumbai’s Kemps Corner neighborhood. Various sources credit him with the invention of the popular Indian/Chinese dish “Chicken Manchurian”.

Everyone who has tasted this awesome dish would agree there is a very thin line in between Chili chicken and Chicken Manchurian, so finally I decided to make a small difference between the two by Recreating a White chicken Manchurian to an extent and by keeping mind the authenticity of the original recipe.
