Notes

Tips for making the best Millet Noodle Chowmein:
  1. Sesame oil is best for Indo Chinese cooking, use the best quality oil and sauces for best results
  2. Shred all the veggies in the even size - this helps quick cooking
  3. While a wok is preferred for Indo Chinese, ensure that whatever pan you use is heated well.
  4. Prep all sauces, veggies before hand as the cook time is very less and needs to be done on high flame only and tossed vigouroyly to get that smoky flavour
  5. Adjust spice according to taste, For us following measurements works well.
