Witness History - Inventing Chicken Manchurian
Download Inventing Chicken Manchurian
Chef Nelson Wang created his signature dish Chicken Manchurian in 1975. It was the birth of modern Indo-Chinese cuisine which went on to become hugely popular around the world.
He went on to open China Garden, a Chinese restaurant in Mumbai that would draw in Bollywood's glitterati.
Nelson's son Edward Wang, who is also a chef, speaks to Reena Stanton-Sharma.
