FAQs

What's Bread Manchurian, and how's it made?

Bread Manchurian is a genius fusion dish where bread takes center stage in a classic Indo-Chinese recipe. Instead of veggies or chicken, crispy bread cubes or balls are tossed in a bold, tangy Manchurian sauce. The sauce? A flavor-packed mix of soy sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, garlic, and ginger, often jazzed up with onions and bell peppers for crunch. It's spicy, saucy, and seriously addictive.

Can I make Bread Manchurian without deep-frying?

Definitely! If you're trying to keep it light, you can bake or air-fry the bread pieces instead of deep-frying. They'll still get that satisfying crispiness but with way less oil. Once they're golden and crunchy, just toss them in the signature Manchurian sauce and you're good to go.

What kind of bread works best for Bread Manchurian?

The sturdier, the better! Day-old bread, whole wheat, or multigrain options hold up really well in the sauce without getting soggy. Fresh, super-soft bread can get mushy, so it's best to avoid those. If you've got dietary preferences, gluten-free bread works too, and it's just as tasty.
