Slurrp presents Chopsticks & Curry | Stories of Chinese Food in Bombay |

From the inception of Chicken Manchurian to Chinese Bhel, Mumbai's tryst with Chinese cuisine has been a flavourful journey. With Chinese immigrants settling in the erstwhile Bombay presidency in the late 19th century, the city not only adopted new flavour profiles of a foreign civilisation but also lent its culinary sensibilities and thus helped develop a cuisine that the country affectionately calls "Indo-Chinese".

Slurrp presents Chopsticks & Curry, a history of Chinese cuisine in Bombay and its evolution over the years.
