Easy chicken Manchurian

-

I had my first Chicken Manchurian in a Chinese restaurant in UAE (United Arab Emirates). To me it felt like this dish will consume so much time to be prepared. The blend of spices and the texture of the chicken made me think so, but I was wrong!
Chicken Manchurian is an easy dish to make. I couldn’t believe it when I first saw a Chef preparing it on TV.

Something else caught my attention, all the Chefs who prepared Chicken Manchurian, were either Indians or Pakistanis! I haven’t seen a Chinese Chef making Chicken Manchurian, yet! 
I tried to get on google.com and find out the origin of this dish. I got more confused and found no straight answer, so my GUESS is, originally Chicken Manchurian is a Chinese dish which later got modified to match Indian cuisine, so it’s kind of Indo-Chinese mix.

Parsley: Properties and Benefits   The   parsley  plant  , scientific name   Petroselinum Hortense  , belongs to the family of the   Umbelliferae  .  It is a highly appreciated plant known for its   aromatic   and   therapeutic  properties. Given the wide use that is made in the kitchen, the   parsley   is grown in most of the gardens of our country. The   parsley   likes temperate climates and does not tolerate very low temperatures.  The soil in which it grows must be well fertilized in order to bring the right amount of nutrients to the plant. The   optimal time   for sowing is March / April.  Given that it grows very fast, in the spring season you can have more cuts throughout the year.
