Indo Chinese cuisine is the adaptation of Chinese seasoning with Indian style of cooking to suit Indian tastes.

Indo Chinese recipes vegetarian or non-vegetarian are immensely popular with Indians and have rapidly spread in major Indian metropolitan cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, New Delhi, Chennai and Hyderabad. It is also popular in Goa, where Chinese and Tibetan populations are at large numbers. Indian Chinese has followed the mainstream Indian expatriate community as they have spread across the world, providing with a taste of authentic Indian Chinese.
Most of these immigrants were Cantonese and Hakka. China town in India still boasts a number of Chinese restaurants specializing in Hakka cuisine and Indo Chinese variants. Soups like Manchow soup and sweet corn soup, again available in vegetarian and meat form, are commonly available, as are starters such as chicken lollipops, spring rolls and wontons.
