WHERE DID CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA COME FROM?

The origins of Chicken Tikka Masala are debated, but one theory suggests it was invented in Britain by Indian chefs to cater to Western tastes.

Some believe it evolved from traditional Punjabi Chicken Tikka, where grilled chicken was paired with a creamy tomato-based sauce.

Others argue it was created in Glasgow, Scotland, when a chef added a creamy sauce to grilled chicken to satisfy a customer’s request for a moist dish.

Regardless of its origin, Chicken Tikka Masala is now a global favorite and even referred to as “Britain’s National Dish”!
