CHINGS CORN FLOUR 500G

Chings Corn Flour 500G is white corn starch from the brand behind most Indian Indo-Chinese cooking. It is the thickener for manchurian gravy, not the yellow maize atta for roti. Same-day delivery across the Utrecht region.
Description
Chings Corn Flour 500G carries the label of the brand that more or less invented the Indian version of Chinese food. If you cook manchurian, chilli paneer or hakka noodles, this is the box the recipe assumes.
Corn starch does two jobs in that cooking. It thickens the gravy into the glossy sauce those dishes are known for, and it coats the paneer, gobi or chicken before frying so the outside goes crisp and stays crisp once the sauce is added. Half a kilo is a lot of either, which is why the box lasts.
Is this different from ordinary cornflour? No, it is the same corn starch in a different box. What you are buying is the brand you already reach for when cooking Indo-Chinese, and the size, since 500 grams is larger than most supermarket boxes.
Why does my manchurian sauce go watery? Usually because the slurry went in too early or the sauce was boiled hard afterwards. Mix the starch with cold water, add it at the end, and bring it just to a simmer while stirring until it turns glossy.
Another brand of the same starch, Weikfield cornflour, sits alongside it, and cooking flours online cover the rest of the store cupboard. Vegetarian. Keep it bone dry in a sealed jar, because starch clumps the moment it meets damp air.
