Any reason why they named this thing after Rutgers? It's #1 level of Indianness, perhaps?

I got it from Bon Apettit Magazine. It was in the section where people write in for recipes for food they've had while they were out and about. Someone had had this at the university and asked for the recipe. It's a delicious, nutritious and unusual side dish that I often make.
