Fish Manchurian

In my blog I have posted almost all versions of Manchurian recipe except for fish. 'Fish Manchurian' is yet another popular Indo Chinese preparation which you can find in most of the Chinese restaurants. I want to share this recipe to fish lovers all over the world specially my Bengali friends who really want to come out of the traditional fish recipes and make something of different taste and flavor. The recipe is very simple where fish fillet are coated with cornflour batter along with mixed spices, which is then deep fried and stir fried with sauce and vegetables.We can use any type of fish in the dish and don't forget to remove the fish bone from it. It goes very well with anything like roti, rice, noodles  etc. So friends, enjoy making this dish and having it.
