The World Around Us 
In Indo-Chinese cooking, the techniques of Chinese cooking meet Indian flavours (and vice versa), to create fresh, exciting dishes. The fiery heat of Chilli Paneer, offset by the tang of Gobi Manchurian or the mild, carby goodness of Burnt Garlic Fried Rice and Hakka Noodles. It’s flavour-rich comfort food that’s fast and filling. It’s not uncommon to spot Schezwan Dosas (that usually contain no Sichuan peppercorns), Manchow Soup, Honey-Chilli Potatoes and Chow Mein Samosas on Indian restaurant menus everywhere. While Indo-Chinese is an integral part of India’s culinary scene, it’s also made its way around the world and is loved among Indian communities outside of India too. It’s a popular street food choice, as well as a restaurant favourite. Many Indian restaurants today even have separate menus for their Indo-Chinese dishes. In the UK, Chilli Mogo (or Indo-Chinese chilli cassava) is a very popular dish. It has come to be loved by many and is a product of those who have roots in both India and East Africa (where cassava is a staple carbohydrate).
