Indianised version of chinese dishes, is a rage or a trend most of us Indians have grown up with…
Every menu from an average thela( food cart), fast food joints near campuses to decent mediocre family restaurant, have Chinese as part of their menu, i.e. a restaurant Punjabi food will also serve chinese and a south indian restaurant will also serve Chinese. When I say Chinese, it is not authentic chinese, but more of Indianised palette to it, Children, grown ups all enjoy this particular cuisine… There are many dishes that have got influenced and has its own desi ( indian) name to it.
Gobhi Manchurian, Paneer Manchurian, Gobhi chilli…. Thus came into existence this new genre of dishes which used indian ingredients, the Indian taste palate with chinese sauces, all altering to our indian tastes.
Schezwan garlic paneer is one such dish… made with simple indian pantry ingredients, easy to make and goes well with fried rice, hakka noodles or just as a starter.
