    Majority of Indian dishes have Arabic or Central Asian ancestry.

      Must be careful not to get carried away and generalize. There is a very small subset of dishes that originate from there and they too have been almost completely modified, which is why you will not find any of these dishes in Arabic or Persian cuisine, and even if you manage to do that they will be completely indistinguishable.

    Even the name Hindu came from Persians from word "Sindhu" as Persians can't pronounce "s". They started calling hindu! Too much history that most of the Indians do not even their origins

      It doesn't mean as much as people think it means. The word Christ doesn't come from Hebrew, but from English, its root word being Greek. Also, let us not forget that the name of the river Sindhu is eventually sanskrit, so they are not that far off. The word 'Muslim' itself has an origin in pre-Islamic Arabic, when it meant 'pure' and 'ideal'. Arabic itself was influenced significantly by other Semitic languages as well as other languages they came into contact with. That is just how culture works.
      Cultures that lacked resources had to develop trade and armies to secure resources and communication, record-keeping and transmission and writing was an essential part of preserving knowledge for such cultures. This explains why Arabs and Europeans needed to develop such systems, while at the time the much richer Indians did not.

      Not Muslims. Sambusa was developed in pre-Islamic Persia. That too, only the main concept of puddding. All of its ingredients as well as the method of cooking in the Indian variant is different.

    How it possible ? Jilebi is coming from middle East . because they are not producing sugarcane.

      As she mentioned, it has changed after coming to India as with Samosas. It might have just been a savory or mildly sweet dish in its place of origin and become a sweet dish after it arrived here . That’s the great thing about ancient India, we welcome outside influences and make it our own. Ex: potato, tomato, chili etc

    Another bullshit that nothing has come from India. They did it with Briyani while ignoring Chola period had recipy similar to Briyani. They did it with Pav bhaji, Idali and now Jalebi. Ancient indian called Jalebi, Jalawalikia. It has been mentioned in the jain text. Do you have any Persian textual evidence to call it a Persian?
