NYT Calls Chicken Manchurian 'Stalwart of Pakistani Chinese Cooking', Indians Have a Meltdown
News 18A Chicken Manchurian recipe that appeared in the New York Times has sent Indian Twitter into a collective meltdown this fine day on Twitter. Because Indians on Twitter were unable to find enough globally popular things with kind-of uncertain origins to claim today, they have latched onto the NYT Chicken Manchurian article which called the dish a “stalwart of Pakistani Chinese cooking”. As per a South China Morning Post article, Chicken Manchurian is believed to have been created in Mumbai by a third-generation Chinese chef called Nelson Wang. https://t.co/EcH5OLYatb— mmmmm March 27, 2023 Pakistanis and Indians fighting in the replies meanwhile Chinese watching them like: https://t.co/7dW4JpKa3B pic.twitter.com/1EVzt2UTB9— K.
