The result was delete. Though the majority of comments here are saying "keep", the article is unsourced, and no sources can be found for such a dish. I am convinced by the argument that Khatta merely means "sour" as that is what my research indicates. For example - Dhokla may be prepared "Khatta dhokla". When an article is brought to AFD it should only be kept if there is some evidence that it is correct. This article is speculative at best, incorrect at worse.

There is no indication of notability. I have searched, and have seen no evidence of coverage giving Khatta any more status than a rather mundane dish. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:20, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I regret now having deleted most of this article. In its original form it was an obvious delete as a violation of WP:NOTHOWTO. I decided to delete all the "how to" information, which was the body of the article, and propose the rest for deletion as essentially vacuous. However, as for the article in its present state, and the arguments advanced above:
Certainly "a Google search returns some results", but even if it returned thousands of results, that would not be evidence of notability in Wikipedia's sense unless at least some of them were significant coverage by reliable independent sources. I have not found any of them which could remotely be called significant coverage. As for "while the existence of another article isn't reason to justify a subject": exactly, so why mention it? I had no idea there was a Google article on Chicken salad: now that I do know I think it is as pointless as the article on Khatta, but even if I thought it was more pointless (as Peridon does), the existence of one would not justify the existence of the other. Summary: neither Google hits nor the existence of another equally bad article constitutes notability in Wikipedia's sense, so we have yet to have a single argument in favour of keeping based on Wikipedia policy.
