One of the most popular international cuisines in India is heart-winning Chinese Cuisine. Brought to India many years back by Hakka travellers, the roots of this cookery can be traced back to Kolkata. But it was only in the 90s that these tangy sweet preparations emerged as a strong competitor to other popular Indian cuisines. The flavours then unknown to the Indian palate were an instant hit. The aroma soon reminded us of a festive occasion and of that joyful wolfing down of these interesting Asian preparations.
The list grew from Sweet Corn Chicken soup, Fried Rice or Chicken Noodles, and Chicken Manchurian to include various other dishes that were then considered exotic. The Indian version of Chinese food has its own distinct tastes. India welcomed the tweaked interpretation of Chinese food like no other.
While Japanese, Korean and other Pan Asian cuisines are entering our culinary horizon, these Chinese dishes still rule the roost. It was perhaps the ease of cooking and umami taste that made Chinese cooking not just a ‘go-to’ but a ‘must-go-to’.
