You people must be shocked after reading this statement but it is completely true.

welcome back to another interesting blog today we will look at chicken tikka masala. its been more than 70 years for this dish but still after so many interesting inventions in non-veg dishes people still order chicken tikka for lunch or dinner. this dish has satisfied so many people buy her finger liking flavours.

Chicken Tikka Masala is a slowly cooked tomato curry along with the spices and the addition is spiced roasted chicken and to make it richer in taste we add cream in it.

The unknown fact which we all don’t know is that there are around 48 recipes for this single dish all around the world. the prime ingredient remains the same which is the chicken.

The question lies who made the chicken tikka masala?

Britishers or Indian?

so there are 3 stories behind this so let’s see

1st  story

there was an Indian restaurant name Glasgow in Scotland a Pakistani chef named Ali Ahmed the priority of the restaurant says that it was  a busy night in a restaurant and late night a bus driver came and ask for a chicken curry the order was served but bus driver sent it back saying chicken is dry then in the kitchen tomato soup was left at that time  so chef added dry chicken in that soup added some spices and sent it back to the table the bus driver loved it and he became regular with his friends for that curry this is how dish came to life.

2nd story

This story says in Britain there were many Indian restaurants in which Bangladeshi chefs used to work there they made this and bought to life.

3rd story

this is a story from Punjab in 1970s people were not knowing about tandoor because it was rarely available people use to see tandoor in big events like weddings live tandoori chicken was displayed  but the small pieces of chicken used to left from tandoori chicken so there was a restaurant Moti mahal where this leftover pieces of chicken were tossed with tomato gravy & cream and the dish was bought to life which is named as chicken tikka masala.

people know these 3 stories but what exact one is there no one knows but foodies will never worry about that because at the end taste is important to us.

what else you need when you have a plate of hot & sizzling chicken tikka masala along with garlic butter naan or tandoori roti brushed with hot butter means life is complete what more expectations from left with l lolz! But jokes apart this dish has its own unique body and flavour which is unbeatable from last 70 years in Indian cuisine the dish is so renowned that every non-Indian are also the fan of this dish!!
