The history of the origin of this dish is controversial. The dish is indeed Indian food, but some argue that the dish appeared in the first Indian restaurants in London's Soho borough in the 1970s. And Rahul Verma (a street food expert from Delhi), stated that the dish originated (perhaps by accident, with subsequent improvisation) in the Punjab in the last 50 years.
