History of Manchurian

Every dish or recipe has an origin i.e. from where it has been ejected. So since today, we are learning how to make Manchurian Gravy at home then before that we need to learn something about Manchurian. One thing we only about Manchurian is that it is an Indo-Chinese cuisine but the story is something more ahead to this.
Manchuria is a region located in Northeast Asia or we can also say Northeastern China. Basically, Tungusic people who are originated from Manchuria, a part of northeastern China are termed as Manchurian and their native language is Tungusic language. When we relate a small family who uses Altaic languages of Siberia and northern China then we refer them as Tungusic people. So the dishes or style of food they use is referred to Manchurian, which may include chicken or vegetable Manchurian, where they simply fry the core ingredient and either eat it directly or eat with some gravy or with sometimes with rice or noodles.
If we talk about vegetable Manchurian then we can say it’s an Indian Chinese cuisine where we use both Indian and Chinese cooking techniques along with Chinese seasoning and Indian spice. You will find that we have balanced both in our recipe. There are two kinds of Manchurian we made, one is dry and other is gravy. In the dry Manchurian, we only fry our chopped vegetables balls or only cauliflower well dipped in a spiced corn flour batter. In general terms, we can say we are making mix vegetable Kofte, wherein gravy Manchurian we pour our Manchurian balls in a spicy sauce or gravy which includes chopped onion, capsicum, garlic, soy and chili sauce etc.
