Indo - Chinese Cuisine has opened a totally new horizon in the Chinese Culinary World . It is hot and spicy using a lot of Indian Spices. It is popular amongst both children & adults.
Lifafa means envelope. The envelope encloses a sumptuous stuffing which not only serves as a filling meal but at the same time delicious too . It is loaded with crunchy vegetables & flavourful sauces . I am sure this dish will keep everyone satisfied at the table .
