If there’s anything no one can say “no” to at a house party, it's Chinese food. The Chinese cuisine is around 1000 years old and has evolved greatly with time. Chinese food has travelled the world and different countries have altered the ingredients, techniques and flavour pairings according to their preferences. Chinese food primarily has two things- a starch or carbohydrate-rich element with a flavourful and pungent side dish. A celebration of flavour, aroma and appearance, Chinese food has something or the other for everyone. With vibrant colour, Chinese food usually involves spicy and pungent sauces and condiments. Chinese food was introduced in India by a Chinese community that migrated to Kolkata and Indians haven’t stopped making their versions of Chinese food yet. Desi-Chinese is something that is loved by everyone in all parts of the country. However, very few of us have tried authentic Chinese dishes yet. Want to try some of them at home?
