I love Indo-Chinese food..i can have it everyday for days together before i get tired of it. Every time my husband and i decide to have a meal out, i end up dragging him to some Chinese restaurant.
As i was going through the archives the other day i realized that i had not posted any Indian Chinese recipes in a while. So i decided to blog about one of my favorites -Hot Garlic Noodles.

Incidentally, I recently read up some interesting trivia on Indian Chinese food. Indian Chinese cuisine as we know today was developed by the Chinese community living in Calcutta for over a hundred years. Chinese food available in India now has been significantly modified to suit the Indian palate. Dishes such as Cauliflower Manchurian and Chicken Manchurian bear little resemblance to the traditional Chinese cuisine*.
