    Good! I tried this recipe and it came out OK. The vinegar, lemon juice, tomato ketchup and tomato paste in the recipe made this dish too tarty/somewhat sour for me. Even the dish did not look very appetizing. I don't think that I will be making this dish ever again. Thank you.

    its not the recipe of chicken manchurian,its simply chicken curry, chicken manchurian has boneless chicken.

    If we needed to use common sense for a recipe, then why put up any instructions at all....how rude!

    i think this is not exact way of chicken manchurian. it more like a curry.

    wht are the health hazards of ajino moto ,can u plz tell me as i use it a lot in my ordinary dishes .

    Well,i find the recipe quite mouth watering....it makes less diffence if u add the tomato puree in the mid or the start....we are here to seek a different/unique taste of a meal not just conventional taste....

    are you not aware of the health hazards using ajinomoto? guys use regular salt

    i think its just a chicken curry not a manchuria and this is not the method to prepare chicken manchurian

    Well Mam, you have not mentioned in your recepi when to add the tomato puree and the ketchup! Are we suppose to guess it?

    In response to other comment. tomato sauce was added in at No. 4 and I am sure that you can improvise with the rest, it's called USE YOUR OWN COMMON SENSE!
