Who invented butter chicken? A court is expected to decide.

"New Delhi — Indian food lovers have made butter chicken a staple item on virtually every menu featuring the Asian nation's cuisine around the globe. But who invented it? Two Indian restaurant chains are locked in a legal battle to settle the
dispute over which of them actually created the hugely popular dish, along with another traditional delicacy, dal makhani.
Owners of Moti Mahal, a famed Delhi restaurant chain, filed a lawsuit at the Delhi High Court against rival brand Daryaganj, accusing it of falsely claiming to have invented the two popular dishes. Moti Mahal claims its founder, Kundan Lal Gujral,
invented butter chicken in the 1930s when the restaurant first opened in Peshawar (which is now in Pakistan) before it moved to Delhi.
Daryaganj, which was established in 2019, claims the late Kundan Lal Jaggi, a member of its founding family, had partnered with Moti Mahal's Gujral to open the Delhi restaurant in 1947, where he invented both dishes.
The Gujaral family, in its lawsuit, argues that Daryaganj is "attempting to mislead the consuming public into believing that their restaurants under the impugned name are in some manner connected with the plaintiffs' predecessor's first Moti Mahal
restaurant in Daryaganj, when in fact no such connection or association exists."
The websites of both the restaurant chains — which look similar — feature claims to be the originators of the two iconic dishes.
Butter chicken is prepared with marinated chicken pieces grilled in a traditional tandoor oven and then cooked in a thick, mildly spiced tomato-based sauce, with generous amounts of cream and butter. Dal makhani is a slow-cooked lentil dish, also
enriched with cream and butter.
Moti Mahal's 2,752-page lawsuit is seeking $240,000 in damages from Daryaganj, alleging also that its rival has copied the layout of its website and "the look and feel" of its restaurants.
"You cannot take away somebody's legacy ... The dish was invented when our grandfather was in Pakistan," said Monish Gujral, managing director of Moti Mahal.
The Delhi High Court has given Daryaganj four weeks to file its response, and it will hear the case again at the end of May.
The legal battle has captured the attention of the Indian public, with some people complaining that such cases waste the time of the nation's courts, which are collectively facing a backlog of more than 50 million cases, according to the National
Judicial Data Grid.
The imbalance in cases and courts available to hear them has resulted in delays in criminal proceedings, with more than 70% of inmates in India's prisons currently still being on trial..."
India is a shithole country. So are Nepal and Pakistan. Actually, they
generally don't even dig shitholes, but just poop on the ground and walk
away. In Bangladesh, they shit in toilets, but it goes straight,
untreated, into the rivers. The whole Indian Subcontinent is a shithole.
Here ya go:
Does India have toilets now?
Two types of toilets are available wherever you go in India. Traditional Indian toilets are holes in the ground—a squat
variety with two steps in which to put your feet. There are also Western-style toilets, but the toilet seat, except in
luxury hotels and better restaurants, may be messy.
What is the condition of toilets in India?
According to the NFHS-5, 19.4 per cent of the country does not have access to a toilet — of which 25.9 per cent is in
the rural areas and 6.1 per cent in the urban areas. In comparison to the NFHS-4, these numbers have declined
from 54.1 per cent and 10.5 per cent, respectively.
Where does toilet waste go in India?
According to estimates, about 80% of the sewage in India flows into rivers, lakes and ponds. This sewage is
untreated and pollutes water bodies. It also often seeps underground, which is a cause of concern, since drinking
water is primarily sourced from groundwater.

What country has the most open defecation?
Open defecation refers to the practise of defecating in fields, forests, bushes, bodies of water or other open spaces.
The highest rate of population practicing open defecation live in Ethiopia, more than 75% of the population.
Overall there are still six countries where more than half of the population practices open defecation due to a lack of
sanitation infrastructure, all of them Sub-Saharan countries.
The highest total number of people live in India, followed by Nigeria and Indonesia.
The highest rate of open defecation among urban population has Sao Tome and Principe, with more than 40%, among the
rural population Eritrea is leading with almost 90%...
