FRENCH BEANS AND GARLIC
They say that our Indian version of "Chinese" cooking is really not authentic but perhaps more of what may be called "Indian Chinese." Be that as it may, we love it!! Some recipes that I have tried and enjoyed include Hakka Mushrooms, and Spring Onion and Chili Fried Rice.
This addition to my list of Indian-Chinese recipes is French Beans and Garlic adapted from Tarla Dalal. In this, French Beans are tossed with fresh sliced garlic and soya sauce to make a delightful accompaniment to Fried Rice or Noodles.
