Fried rice coupled with chicken munchurian is an ideal indo chinese food, though I miss the chinese restaurant I used to go , when I was in hyderabad..and especially the Basket noodles, I plan to make it someday,alas one day will come when I will try out that recipe, but seriously I love the crispy noodles, .nearly 8-9 mnths back when I was pregnant, I had cravings for chinese chopsouey,every now and then I used to bug my husband to take me to all the chinese restaurants, one day we were grocery shopping in Carrefour, my husband found a frozen chopsouey vegetables, he`also took the noodles, next day it was my day off in the kitchen, my husband cooked the chopsouey, but so much that I had to eat that the following night,next day for lunch and then for dinner, now nomore I crave for that:-D.
