Chinese dishes eaten in sub continent have their unique spicy blend, & are cooked on high flame and deep fried as required. This particular dish I was shown by a Chinese family who were settled in Calcutta for a few generation. The spices that are used is similar to that eaten in sub-continent. These recipes I am putting in are requested by my niece Samah. I often make them for family get togethers or when entertaining. Scintillating to the palette & sizzlingly fun to make. A soup, rice and another dish will make a full menu.
