Firenter: Remember guys, in the UK cornflour is actually cornstarch
I2ed3ye: Just a tip for faster dredging:
Put the flour in a plastic bag. Then when you want to coat something, toss in a handful, close the bag while trapping air inside, and shake it around. It takes a heck of a shorter time by not doing it one at a time. You get a nice, even coating as long as you make sure everything separates. I use grocery bags for this but definitely make sure there’s no holes, especially in the corners. Way less mess and you can just throw the bag away.
But if you’re still doing the bowl method, best way to keep your fingers from gunking up is having a “wet hand” and a “dry hand”. Just use one hand per bowl.

balls2you2: This kind of preparation is called chicken Manchurian in India. It is a very popular street food.
I’ve never seen it in any Chinese restaurant here though.
The final dish is garnished with coriander or spring onions.
[Edit] Coriander is better tasting than coroner, it is said.
legaladviceukthrowaa: I never knew that you could fry chicken so well in so little oil.
CommentWars_Veteran: Human to chicken: I will bath you in your children.

Make sure the chicken is nice and crispy before removing from the wok!
