Chalukya King Someshvara III who ruled Karnataka around 1126 CE, in his book
Manasollasa (Sanskrit encyclopedia of the 12th Century), had also jotted down a recipe
for X. But food historian KT Achaya says in his book The Story Of Our Food (2003) that
X had been in Tamil culture since 1st Century AD.

Brahmin cook from Udupi, in an attempt to escape his religious expectations, wanted to
consume alcohol to feel free and wild, and act as such. In his endeavours to feel what he
imagined to be ‘high’, he set out to ferment his own alcohol using rice, as alcohol was
unavailable to Brahmins. Highly unsuccessful in his venture, he ended up pouring the
mixture and created X.
