[@eoeaoe12e]

@banu prakash The origin is British, no matter what you say. Like Shubham pointed out, the origins possibly has its place in Glasgow, or at least somewhere in the UK. Several Indian chefs (many of them being high end) call the dish inauthentic; in fact, the sauce was literally made with British people in mind as they like to have their meat served in gravy. Regarding Shubham's explanation, it stems from the story that ''On a typical dark, wet Glasgow night, a bus driver coming off shift came in and ordered a chicken curry. He sent it back to the waiter saying it's dry. At the time, Dad had an ulcer and was enjoying a plate of tomato soup. So he said why not put some tomato soup into the curry with some spices. They sent it back to the table and the bus driver absolutely loved it. He and his friends came back again and again and we put it on the menu.'' Whatever the origins may come from, one thing is 100% for certain; it's an inauthentic British dish inspired by Indian cuisine. By saying that Tikki Masala is a real authentic Indian dish, you are indirectly insulting Indian culture as a whole.

A world-renowned Indian dish...invented in Scotland.

[@theace691]

ummm. sure whatever you want to think. but I don't think "invented" is the right word here, more like modified to suit the British taste. coz chicken tikka masala was originally called Murg Masala( murg = Urdu word for chicken and Masala = Hindi word for spiced based gravy) Introduced to India by the Mughals( who originally invented it). it was modified into several versions by the different cultures of India. Then the East India trading co. came and then the Uk people tasted it and were like holy shit! this is amazing we must take the recipe back home and introduce it as something we invented. sooo... I mean u can boast about inventing but it ain't urs, just like half the shit in British royal museum.

[@michaelscott6022]

@@cdj17e Google it. A Pakistani chef working in an Indian restaurant in Scotland in the 1960s is said to have invented it. Of course, the hint is in the ingredients: tomatoes and cream (most dairy products, not all) aren't really an original staple in Indian cuisine.

[@michaelscott6022]

@@theace691 Absolutely. In fact, in the late 1800s, early 1900s, it was typical of the nouveau riche that made their fortunes in India to bring back the cuisines of the region they were in and open small restaurants to bring it to the general public. Many of the foodstuffs and ingredients were altered, either to make it easier to incorporate it into the blander typical British diet, or improperly copied when trying to recreate the recipe. Look up Worcestershire sauce for more fun facts.

Naan is super easy to make actually, at least a passable version of it, it's a simple dough rolled out flat then cooked on dry cast iron. Whenever I make tikka masala I have to make naan.

[@thpacemanthpiff]

It’s good in a bind, but if you pop a pizza stone in a wool fired grill, you can make some authentic stuff, and just store extra stuff for later

My brother and I tried the recipe and it turned out great for a first attempt. We decided to add a bit of butter into the sauce at the end to thicken it.
