The only article I know of is the Washington Post one, which mostly compares India to The West. Do you have another link?
But looking at your second link, I can build a few recipes from there easy peasy: coconut milk, lemongrass, galangal or ginger, thai pepper - that's something Thai, anyway. Soy sauce, onion, bell pepper, pork. This might not be the most authentic dish, but I doubt it's so wildly off the mark. Cilantro, lime, thyme, scallions, chicken. This is a Jamaican dish I make pretty frequently. Peanut, tomato, sweet potato, grains of paradise or black pepper, ginger, chicken. I know the Ethiopian association near me serves this at events, because I've had some. Cumin, oregano, chile, tomato, beef. Some people say tomatoes aren't traditional in chili, but those people can bite me.
Okay, it's possible that "cuisines that Connie likes" are all outliers, but what are the odds, really that Ethiopia would be an outlier along with China and Thailand? Those two I can see, they're geographically not that far from India, but.... (Actually, I also really like the trifecta that is Greek/Turkish/Afghan food. Heavy on the dairy*, heavy on the wheat, heavy on the beef. Yummy.)
* Which is probably why tres leches took off. Do you know, they make this dish that's basically noodles and mozzarella, but it's a dessert? Noodles in a dessert is a kugel, and dairy in a kugel makes sense, but I wasn't expecting the mozzarella-type cheese!
