Isn't it amazing how food tells the story of cultural exchange? Chicken tikka masala has that perfect blend of flavors that bridge cultures—spices from Indian tradition mixed with the British love for a rich, comforting sauce. It's like the best of both worlds on a plate! Anyone else love how fusion foods come with their own little slice of history?
