In 2010, Archaeologists Arunima Kashyap and Steve Webber of Vancouver's Washington State University traced the world's first-known or "oldest" proto-curry of aubergine, ginger and turmeric from the pot shard of a bulbous handi (pot) with the help of of starch analysis. Readings of such plant "microfossils" undercuts the dependence on macro-botanical evidence like carbonised seeds and grains in traditional archaeology. But mostly, they celebrated the building of a new, scientific highway to Harappa. We have insight into the kitchens of Harappa!
This humble dish has come a long way, the contemporary forms of this dish as we know them today are “Ennegayi” in Karnataka, “Gutta Vankayi” in Andhra and “Ennai Kathirikai Kulambu” in Tamil Nadu. Made with a combination of few spices, Ennagayi delivers its punch with the pulp of tamarind and its depth with peanut and coconut powder.
