Tips...

* Do not add more spices, we already have chicken curry to get a nice spicy flavour.

* Do not use any sauces, if you want desi style of chowmin.

* Keep the noodles slightly uncooked, though they will cook perfectly when we add gravy to them.

* Use less oil to fry veggies.

* Whenever you want to use dry fish, try to wash it many times, soak it up, and then use that soaked water.
