Mara Chicken's definitely Indian.
Yeah, don't take that from us.
It's been better than I thought I would.
We've always been good at math.
Wish me luck.
So I have to tell you if this is Indian or non-Indian, originates from India or not.
Okay, you know what?
I'm not going to overthink this.
I got this.
Chai Tea Latte.
Chai is Indian.
Chai tea is non-Indian.
Chai tea latte is definitely non-Indian.
Chai basically means tea.
So you're saying tea, tea, tea, tea.
Can I have a tea, tea?
Can I have chai tea?
Can I have tea, tea?
So just say chai.
Chai tea is tea, tea, latte.
Yeah.
So that's non-Indian.
But chai is Indian.
I don't make a good cup of chai.
I also am not, I'm a coffee drinker.
I am an espresso girl.
Like a good masala chai or something.
Once in a while I could do, but I need espresso.
Yoga pants are definitely LA.
It was Lululemon that... Yoga pants are not Indian.
Yoga is Indian.
Yoga pants was probably Lululemon, Los Angeles, California.
The peacock's Indian.
She's our national bird, no?
Indian, for sure.
Yeah.
Chess.
Chess is Indian.
We call it Shatranj, baby.
I'm not a good chess player.
But I can play chess.
Just not well.
I know the rules.
I know where everything moves.
I just constantly lose.
So, it's okay.
Snakes and ladders.
Snakes and ladders is Indian.
I've played it since I was a baby.
And, right?

Love Ludo.

Ludo better be Indian.
Indian?

I just introduced Ludo to my family and we're obsessed.
There's an app as well, by the way.
It's tricky.
I think Basmati rice could be from In-N-Around.
I mean, we do a lot of rice in India.
Non-Indian?
It's Indian love that.
I mean, i kind of knew that, but i thought we were going to go into uae or, like you know, the gulf or somewhere there.
But i love that.
Okay, basmati is indian chicken.
Tikka masala that i know, is non-indian.
Like it didn't origin, right.
Yes, i know it didn't originate in india.
I think it was somewhere in england where, you know, after colonization, people loved that, the british loved the flavor and then it was somewhere there that it originated from.
Glasgow.
Glasgow?
Wow.
Well, I was close.
Glasgow.
I was right.
Marigold.
Marigold.
That's Indian.
It's not.
Definitely rooted in Indian culture, so was it an American that brought it to India?
Huh.
I need to do a rabbit hole deep dive into why, how, you know?
You would find marigold in weddings.
We use a lot of floral decorations.
You'd find it for weddings.
You'd find it at poojas, religious ceremonies.
So I'm really surprised that marigold is non-Indian.
Butter chicken is definitely Indian.
Don't take that from us.
That's North India.
That's ours.
That's from the Pind.
I do love butter chicken in Delhi, but I also love butter chicken in London.
Again, colonization, I guess.
A lot of the best chefs were taken to London.
So a lot of amazing Indian food, you'll find it in England.
But Delhi is amazing.
There's a restaurant called Bukhara in Delhi, which has been known for eons.
Amazing butter chicken there.
I'm getting hungry now.
Samosas.
I feel like I should say Indian, but I feel like you're trying to trick me.

Middle East.
Introduced to India in the 13th century.
Oh, so basically it's Indian.
Samosas are Indian.
13th century?
What?
That's older than most countries.
Ghee?
Ghee is definitely desi.
Indian, I will not let anybody take ghee from me.
Ghee is ours.
Ghee my grandmother was, and she really believed and I believe it too that ghee is just great for your body.
It's a really good fat.
So she used to actually put it in a spoon and stick it in my mouth, which I hated.
But she would put ghee on anything.
If you do rice with ghee, a little bit of salt, it's my favorite.
With anything.
It's like soul food.
Ghee rice.
So nice.
Homeopathic medicine.
Homeopathy is used extensively in india, but i don't think it originated in india.
Yeah great, i think.
Let me try to guess, because i think it was europe, and i know this.
I just found out recently actually, because of some homeopathic products that i had gotten in europe and i was told that it originates there.
So which country?
Germany germany, homeopathy in germany?
I would have thought well, i was close.

Ayurveda.
I think Ayurveda is Indian for sure.
I have dabbled a lot in Ayurveda on myself and in products that I work with, and that's definitely India.
Ayurveda is herbal medicine basically, or Indian medicine, but it's not like.
It's actual, like proper medication.
You can go to school for it and learn Ayurveda and it basically takes from nature and creates medication for amazing diseases.
We call it Ayurveda or allopathy, you know.
