That mouth-watering chicken curry or tandoori chicken you adore? India's native fowl have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, and archaeological digs in Harappan sites have revealed not just chicken bones with char marks but also tandoor-like clay ovens dating back to 3000 BC! This means that long before chicken became a global food, ancient Indians were already mastering the art of cooking it.

So, next time you dig into a chicken dish, you might be savouring a culinary tradition that began millennia ago on Indian soil! 🍗📜
