Where a famous Indian dish was first served.
In 1975 a young cook named Nelson Wang was asked for something that was not on the menu at a Mumbai club.

He started with ginger, garlic and green chillies, then reached for soy sauce and cornflour instead of garam masala.

He needed a name on the spot, so he borrowed one from a region in China that has never eaten anything like it.
The answer
Chicken Manchurian

Swaad Anusaar · spice history from your kitchen10 points
Every biryani hides a few of them. Somebody always bites one by accident and spends the next minute regretting it.

Ancient Egyptians are said to have imported them from India and chewed the raw pods, because the oils inside kill bacteria.

Call it the modern breath mint, a few thousand years early.
The answer
Cardamom
