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.
