Discription:“Chinese Food” in India is liked by almost everyone. It’s a combination of Chinese recipes with Indian flavors. In cities like Mumbai , Pune etc you will find a small eatery serving this food. This cuisine is basically derived from very well blended Indian-Chinese cuisines. Chinese-Chinese is very different from what we Indians call Chinese. Indo-Chinese uses Indian spices, herbs as well as Chinese sauces like soy, garlic-chili etc. The techniques are also indo – Chinese. Scallions and soy sauce add the much required Chinese touch to these dishes.
This cuisine is embraced by Indians whole heartedly that chefs have come up with a Chinese influenced chat item It is called “ Chinese Bhel” ( will be posted shortly here). Its made from noodles, and just like regular Bhel.Ingredients
