I’m sure you’ll agree with me that Chinese food is the world’s most adaptable cuisine. Of course, there’s Chinese-Chinese (I tasted it on my recent trip to China), American-Chinese, British-Chinese etc, and interestingly in Peru, I not only tasted Peruvian-Chinese but learnt that it has an official name — ‘Chifa’. In India, this chameleon cuisine takes the form of Jain-Chinese, South Indian-Chinese, Punjabi-Chinese and so on. I love the word ‘Chindian’ for this mixed-marriage. And just before leaving for Russia, I tasted a popular and delicious example of Chindian cuisine at Thane’s Oriental Spice.
