History

Crispy Chilli Lamb is a modern Indo-Chinese dish that evolved from the popular Chilli Chicken and Chilli Paneer recipes. Its origins trace back to Chinese cuisine, particularly Sichuan-style cooking, known for its bold use of chilies, garlic, and soy sauce.

The adaptation of crispy-fried lamb with spicy sauces became popular in Indian-Chinese fusion cuisine, particularly in India’s metropolitan cities. The dish offers a perfect blend of Chinese flavors with Indian spice preferences, making it a favorite in restaurants and street food stalls.

Today, Crispy Chilli Lamb is widely enjoyed as a starter or side dish, known for its crispy texture, smoky aroma, and fiery heat.
