maggi manchurian recipe | noodles manchurian | manchurian maggi gravy with detailed photo and video recipe. a unique and fusion recipe made with the popular maggi noodles kofta balls in a manchurian sauce. it is an ideal alternative to the popular cabbage or veg manchurian recipe with the additional taste of maggi tastemaker. you may easily make it as a party starter or as an appetiser and surprise your guests with the additional taste.
i am a big fan of manchurian recipes or in generic i like all the indo chinese recipes. i personally like the combination of fried rice with a manchurian or chilli gravy. hence every saturday night dinner, i plan to make an indo chinese gravy and rice or noodles variant. with the gravy, i try to make it unique and do not follow the same gobi or paneer based one. just the cauliflower or cheese-based one, can be monotonous and hence i look for other options. noodles or cabbage-based are my other favourite, especially when maggi tastemaker is added. you would get the extra masala spice heat from tastemaker which is on top of the sauce added to prepare the manchurian sauce. in addition to that, the maggi noodles balls prepared can also be served as a simple snack by ignoring the sauce.
furthermore, i would like to add some more tips, suggestions and variations to maggi manchurian recipe. firstly, the noodles based manchurian is a common indo chinese recipe. however, maggi noodles with tastemaker is a fusion recipe. hence if you do not like the tastemaker, you can ignore it completely. secondly, you can make the same recipe with or without gravy. i personally like it with a lot of sauce, hence i prepared the cornstarch-based sauce. you may ignore it if you like the dry variant. lastly, the recipe can also be prepared as a chilli variant with lots of slit green chilli slit with the sauce. refer my other gobi chilli recipe for detailed chilli sauce recipe.
finally, i request you to check my other detailed indo chinese recipes collection with this post of maggi manchurian recipe. it includes my other recipe variations like noodle soup, manchurian gravy, aloo manchurian, cabbage manchurian, bread manchurian, chilli bread, paneer manchurian dry, baby corn manchurian, idli manchurian, gobi manchurian. further to these i would also like to mention my other recipe categories like,
