Time to try out Adapted Chinese Recipes or to say Indo-Chinese recipes as kids will be at home on the long summer vacation. Lots of basic preparations are to be made to make these dishes. The first and fore most is to make Chilly Oil.

Ingredients:
Kashmiri Red Chillies - 25 nos
Refined Oil -  1 cup

Method:
Break the red chillies into big pieces. Heat the oil in a pan in medium flame till it reaches the smoking point. Add the chillies and switch off the gas (and move out of the kitchen). After a few mins. Cover and keep it aside for about an hour or two. Strain the oil alone through a double filter. This oil can be used to make chinese dishes or adapted Indo-Chinese dishes.
