#NW There are many different ways a simple and spicy Szechuan Sauce recipe can be prepared. However, in India, the street style sauce or thick textured chutney is more popular as its use is further extended. The same sauce can also be used to make noodles and fried rice thus extending its use cases. In addition, the street style does carry a hint of sweetness, mainly due to the use of Kashmiri red chilies and a small quantity of sugar.
