In the 1930s, while Kundal Lal Saigal was enjoying box-office success with Devdas, two namesake contemporaries were honing their culinary skills in Peshawar. Kundan Lal Gujral and Kundan Lal Jaggi went on to create butter chicken, the addictive dish that was recently ranked third among the ‘best chicken dishes in the world’. Now, their restaurant chains, Moti Mahal and Daryaganj, are embroiled in a legal battle over the title of the inventor of butter chicken. Both chains have their own origin stories, and the court will decide who gets the credit.
