I have used little sugar, though my schezwan sauce already having sugar in it. So add as per your taste.
I didn’t add vinegar and soy sauce , because my schezwan sacue already having these too. If you add just red chilli paste instead instead of schezwan sauce, add vinegar and soy sauce too in the rice while sauting.

Actually in a nearby hotel they will serve this dip along with spring roll dosa.That spring roll dosa is my all time favourite. I just love this dip and one of my long time wish is to try my hands on this.

But the hotel dip will be oilier and the reddish oil will be floating on the top. I don’t want that much oil in my dip, so I reduced that and am sure it is also yummy and delicious.
Last week i made this dip and spring roll dosa and enjoyed each and every bite.
