Trivia
[Hardcore] Similar to 'Chili Chicken', but while Chili Chicken is 'soy/chili based' fried with peppers etc., Manchurian features 'gooey umami-spicy sauce' thickened with cornstarch with garlic/ginger boosted to the limit. The supreme masterpiece where Indians demonically modified Chinese sweet-and-sour pork/Yulinchi into something junkier and spicier.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Before batter absorbs sauce and gets soggy, stuff the outside crispiness and inside hot meat juice into cheeks at once, minding burns!
