alt Hacker NewsI disagree with that. There is nothing in South Asian cuisine similar to sashimi or to soy heavy stir fries.
Very few east Asian dishes use the spices most popular in South Asia.
Spaghetti is far more similar to noodles than it is to any South Asia equivalent I can think of.
Yes, a filled pasta is a very different thing from dumpling, but a lot of European cuisines have dumplings.

Those were brought to them most likely by China in one way or another.

You saying it like a filled pasta and a dumpling isn't the same twist on "filling encased in thin dough".

Dish is ingredients and method. Stir-frying is a Chinese technique (technically multiples, but all originated in China). Ingredients get replaces all the time for various reasons. You're telling me Poriyal is not close relative to the OG stir-fry?
