CHASKA isn't only known for North Indian food โ the wok section of the kitchen gets just as much traffic. Here's what regulars actually order from the Indo-Chinese side of the menu, with prices, at both the NIT-5 and Omaxe World Street branches.
Where Indo-Chinese Food Comes From
Indo-Chinese cuisine developed within Kolkata's Chinese-Indian community, who adapted Chinese cooking techniques โ the wok, high heat, quick-fried sauces โ to Indian spices, garlic and chillies. That's why dishes like Chilli Chicken and Manchurian don't really exist in China itself; they're a distinctly Indian invention, and today one of the most-ordered cuisines in restaurants across the country, CHASKA included.
