Is Manchurian chicken healthy?

Manchurian chicken can be high in calories and sodium due to the deep-frying and use of sauces and corn flour. However, we make it healthier, such as using psyllium husk for the batter and sweetener for the sauce.

How do I make the Manchurian sauce less spicy?

If you prefer a milder version of the sauce, you can adjust the amount of red chilli paste or omit it entirely. You can also add more sweetener to balance out the heat.

Can I make Manchurian chicken ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the chicken and sauce separately and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. When ready to serve, heat up the sauce and toss the chicken in it until it's heated through.
