● The origin of the dish is uncertain. In North India, different
varieties of X developed in Delhi , Lucknow and other small
principalities. In South India, where rice is more widely used
as a staple food, several distinct varieties of X emerged from
Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. Andhra is the
only region of South India that does not have many native
varieties of X.Lizzie Collingham states that the modern X was
created in the Mughal royal kitchen, as a confluence of the
native spicy dishes of India and the Persian pilaf. However,
another theory claims that the dish was known in India before
the first Mughal emperor Babur came to India. According to
chef Jacob Sahaya Kumar, 'Oon Soru' mentioned in 2nd
century CE Tamil Sangam literature is an early predecessor
of modern-day X.
