Tea or Coffee
The two beverages that every Indian need to start the day as well as get through it are not India. While tea was introduced to India by the British to rid China of the monopoly in the tea industry, coffee was not a part of India till the 16th century when Baba Budan smuggled some coffee beans into India while on a pilgrimage to Mecca which he proceeded to cultivate making coffee an all-time favourite.
Well, Indian or not, each of these dishes is stupendous. So why worry about the origin? After all, “Food is our common ground, a universal experience.”
