Butter Chicken Battle: Indian Court to Decide Inventor Dispute

Two Indian restaurant chains, Moti Mahal and Daryaganj, are embroiled in a legal battle over the origins of butter chicken, a globally renowned Indian dish. Moti Mahal claims its founder invented the curry in the 1930s in Peshawar before moving to Delhi, while Daryaganj argues that its late family member partnered with Moti Mahal's founder to open the Delhi restaurant in 1947, thus giving it the right to claim the creation of the dish. The dispute has captured national attention, with the court set to rely on circumstantial evidence and testimonies to determine the dish's true origins.
