Indo-Chinese or Authentic Chinese: What Are You Really Eating in Delhi?
At Chinese restaurants in Delhi, you are usually choosing between Indo-Chinese food, a style built for Indian tastes with green chillies, garlic, soy sauce and cornflour-thickened gravies, and authentic Chinese cooking, which follows regional traditions such as Cantonese and Sichuan. In Connaught Place, Berco’s and Taste of China lean Indo-Chinese, and Shang Palace and OKO cook regional dishes.
- Indo-Chinese: dishes such as Manchow Soup, Chilli Chicken, Honey Chilli Potato and Manchurian. Restaurateur Nelson Wang, born in Kolkata in 1950, created chicken Manchurian in 1975 at the Cricket Club of India in Mumbai, by his own account.
- Cantonese: the cooking of southern China, known for dim sum, roast meats and lighter sauces. Look for the Prawn Dumpling With Caviar and Cantonese Barbeque Platter at Shang Palace and the Chicken Sho Mai at OKO.
- Sichuan: the cooking of western China, known for chilli and the tingling heat of Sichuan peppercorns. Kung Pao Chicken, on the menu at Taste of China, is a Sichuan classic.
- Yunnan: the cooking of China’s far south-west, on the borders of Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam, served at Shang Palace and in OKO’s Yunnan Style Duck.
A note on spelling: on Indo-Chinese menus, “Szechuan” usually signals a red chilli and garlic sauce, as in the Triple Szechuan Fried Rice at Berco’s, rather than Sichuan peppercorn heat.
