    • Chili Garlic Fries | Indo Chinese Fries

    Chinese immigrants settled in Calcutta, India during British ruled India and brought a wonderful food culture along with them. They started to experiment with local ingredients and created a fusion between Indian and Chinese food.

    Chinese immigrants established restaurant businesses around the country. If you ever end up in India, you'll find Indo-Chinese street food all over India.

    My Encounter with Authentic & Fusion Chinese Food

    Indo-Chinese food started to hit the streets of Gujarat, India, sometime in early 2000. I thought that's how people in China prepared their food. Then I came to the US lol.

    American Chinese food is nothing like Indo-Chinese food. It's too sweet for the Indian palate. I didn't know what authentic Chinese food was like until I started watching “The Food Ranger” on YouTube.

    How to Make Indo-Chinese Fries

    This recipe is super easy to cook. Great for Superbowl food. You may choose to make homemade fries or use store-bought fries. Follow the package instruction for cooking store-bought fries.

    Why Soak Potatoes for Fries?

    Soaking potatoes in hot water helps get rid of the starch. Getting rid of excess starch helps cook crispy fries. Soak the potatoes for 5 to 15 minutes in hot water.


    How to Serve Chili Garlic Fries:

    These fries make such a great appetizer or snack as is. The fries slithered in chili garlic sauce and garnished with green onions. Grab your chopsticks, Sister. Need I say more?

    This Chili garlic fries recipe is delicious.
