The history of Indian-Chinese cuisine is a fascinating tale of culinary fusion and adaptation. Here's a more detailed exploration of the history of this popular fusion cuisine:
Early Chinese Immigration to India: The roots of Indian-Chinese cuisine can be traced back to the late 18th and early 19th centuries when Chinese immigrants, primarily from the Hakka community, settled in the northeastern regions of India, especially in places like Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) and its surroundings. These early Chinese immigrants brought their culinary traditions with them.
Adaptation to Local Tastes: Chinese immigrants found that the Indian palate was quite different from their native cuisine. To cater to local preferences and ingredients, they began adapting their traditional recipes.
