No other cuisine has gained such huge popularity in India as compared to Chinese cuisine. this is not an authentic Chinese but a fusion of both Indian and Chinese. Yet we all love to eat the way it is. This all started about 4 decades back when a few dishes started gaining popularity in some parts of India which were partially influenced by authentic Chinese. It was enriched with only a few Chinese ingredients like soy sauce or bean sauce, we added some of our vegetables like capsicum and cabbage and sauces like tomato ketchup, green chilly sauce and vinegar etc. to make it Indo-Chinese or Deai Chinese.
A big similarity is that most of the dishes are prepared by stir-frying so that the dish does not lose nutritional value. A few of our favourite dishes are Hakka noodles, chilly paneer, chilly chicken and Manchurian dishes. Here Is the recipe for mushroom chilli which is a stir-frying dish with lots of mushrooms and 3 types of bell peppers
