Chicken tikka masala is often thought of as a quintessential Indian dish, but it’s a fusion dish born out of British-Indian cuisine. 🍗🥘 Many believe it was created in the UK by a South Asian chef who adapted traditional Indian tikka to British tastes by adding a creamy tomato sauce. 🍲
 
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? 😋
 
So, chicken tikka masala is technically a British invention—looks like it’s not just the weather that’s a bit saucy!
