Reviewing the Secret to Making Hot Pot of Manchurian: Masalas
I like making Manchurian using O’real Manchurian Mix. I love how it is mildly spicy and adds a desi touch to a chinese recipe. It tastes great paired up with steamed, boiled, or fried rice. The only sad point is that it is not as widely available, which makes it extra hard to look for it.

I am a staff writer and have visited countless grocery stores numerous times; whatever I need, I know exactly where to get it from! I am a superhero - I identify value for money in any grocery list.
Whenever I am looking for a delicious and delectable dish to serve at my next dinner party, cooking the Manchurian is my first choice since everyone loves Chinese in my family.
And given how versatile it is, it can be made with a number of protein options. This dish is made from a mixture of chicken, beef, and fish that is cooked in a hot and spicy sauce until a thick gravy nicely coats the protein.
It is said that the Manchurian is so delicious that it can make you want to lick your fingers, and it’s also said to be one of the most delicious dishes ever created.
So, if you’re looking for a dish that will make your taste buds sing, the Manchurian is definitely the recipe for you.
I love making Manchurian at home and my secret ingredient in making a scrumptious Chicken Manchurian is using a premixed Chicken Manchurian Masala. It brings out a balance of sweet and sour flavors to the curry and well, makes it very consistent.
And to find the one that provides me with that well-balanced flavor, I looked from aisle to aisle picking all the available options. I tried the following brands to find the best one.
I have also rated the following based on availability, packaging, and additives information.

FAQs

Manchurian is made with deep-fried minced meat and uses a lot of high-sodium ingredients. It is not a very well-balanced meal I would say, however, neither is it very healthy.
