Requesting removal of unreliable information
I am requesting removal of few dishes mentioned in the article "salted beef tongue, fish rissoles and ball curry". I personally don't think these dishes exist in Indian or Anglo Indian cuisine but the main part is that these are uncited and unreliable.

They are cited. Hence the numerous citations. "Raj and Anglo Indian cookbooks have lots of recipes for dishes that Hindus or Moslems would hesitate to touch – pork, ham, beef, quail, snipe and other curries using game." Anglo-Indian food =/= Indian food.

"I personally don't think...": that is
WP:OR (Original Research), which is forbidden everywhere on Wikipedia. Your approach should be "Is it in the cited sources?" and "Are the cited sources of good quality?" - if they are, then the fish rissoles and all the rest are indeed
WP:V (Verifiably) Anglo-Indian cuisine, and the thing that is out of kilter is not the article, but your personal thinking. The two policies I have cited are core to Wikipedia, pillars of the encyclopedia: that's how we operate. If you can't work with them, you can't work here, it's as simple as that.

That's why I said that main problem is they uncited and therefore unreliable

But it's cited in the body of the article (the main text). Normally we do not repeat citations in the lead, indeed it's policy not to do so. Perhaps it would be as well for you to familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's basic practices. As for your personal opinion, I was quoting you directly, as people can see at the top of this thread.

“Chutney, one of the few Indian dishes that has had a lasting influence on English cuisine”
Does the Oxford Companion to Food really claim that? Considering the sheer impossibility of avoiding
curry in the UK, I find this notion somewhat dubious… Cheers

It did. Your edit happens to be ok because it happens already to be cited in the article body. The article could do with more detail but it must be via reliably-cited sources.
