Re: Chicken Manchurian

Please don't use agino-o-motto. It is one of the cause of cancer. I think it is ban in US. Soy sauce should give enough flavoring.

Re: Chicken Manchurian

Re: Chicken Manchurian

btw - Daagh posted a similar recipe on his ARAD website. I tried it and it came out yummy. I made some modifications that's all like not deep frying the chicken but rather boiling it.

Re: Chicken Manchurian

I am not saying that everyone will get cancer because of Msg, but it has lot of side effects so it is good if you can avoid it.

Re: Chicken Manchurian

I agree with Lusi, Mono Sodium glutamate is very very bad for you!!! That is why almost all chinese oriental restaurants can't put msg or agino-moto in their foods.
I don't know if it causes cancer but it is extremely bad for your health in general!
It is made from chicken fat.....................YUCKY.............................

Re: Chicken Manchurian

Also, most of shan masala packets contain msg.

Re: Chicken Manchurian

really? i love chinese salt/agino-moto....my mom says you only supposed to put in half a spoon during cooking..but i put 1 spoon or even 2 spoons..i love the taste it brings to my chinese dishes....i dont like to add to much soy sauce to my chicken fried rice....makes it look too brown...
ive heard MSG makes one full faster...is this true?

Re: Chicken Manchurian

^^ Afshan, yes, because it is chicken fat (the skin on the chicken is what it is made from)

15

Re: Chicken Manchurian

Re: Chicken Manchurian

17

Re: Chicken Manchurian

18

Re: Chicken Manchurian

19

Re: Chicken Manchurian

Afshan: I suppose it is haram if coming from a haram chicken's skin:) I never thought of that though.

Nia: If you don't believe me pick up a shan masala and read the ingredients. Also, i have seen that not all shan masala contain msg but there are more than one that do.
