Chicken Manchurian is one of the most popular Chinese
chicken recipe, but it is usually prepared with a sweet and sour sauce Indian
Chinese cuisine is the adaptation of Chinese seasoning and cooking techniques
to Indian tastes through a larger offering of vegetarian dishes.
The Indian Chinese
cuisine is said to have been developed by the small Chinese community that has
lived in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) for over a century. Today, Chinese food is
an integral part of the Indian culinary scene. It is also enjoyed by Indian and
Chinese communities in Malaysia, Singapore and North America.
Foods tend to be flavoured with spices such as cumin,
coriander seeds, and turmeric, which with a few regional exceptions, such as
Xinjiang, are traditionally not
associated with much of Chinese cuisine. Hot chilli, ginger, garlic and yogurt
are also frequently used in dishes. This makes Indian Chinese food similar in taste to many ethnic
dishes in Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore and Malaysia, which have
strong Chinese and Indian cultural
influences.[citation needed] Non-staple dishes are by default served with
generous helpings of gravy, although they can also be ordered "dry"
or "without gravy".
Culinary styles often
seen in Indian Chinese fare include chilli (implying hot and batter-fried),
Manchurian (implying a sweet and salty brown sauce), and Szechwan (implying a
spicy red sauce). These correspond only loosely, if at all, with authentic
Chinese food preparation.
