Paneer Manchurian is a fusion dish that combines flavors from Indian and Chinese cuisines. It features cubes of paneer, a fresh Indian cottage cheese, coated in a batter and lightly fried until crisp. These are then tossed in a flavorful sauce made with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, chili, and sometimes ketchup for a tangy touch. The dish often includes bell peppers, onions, and spring onions for added texture and nutrients. Paneer is a good source of protein and calcium, making it beneficial for bone health and muscle development. However, the frying process and inclusion of refined ingredients like all-purpose flour and high-sodium sauces can make this dish higher in calories, fats, and sodium. Opting for baked or air-fried paneer and reducing sauce quantities can make it a healthier choice while retaining its savory appeal. Perfect as an appetizer or main course, Paneer Manchurian is a flavorful crowd favorite.
