chicken tikka masala

Creamy tomato curry

Chicken tikka masala is a dish of roasted chicken pieces in a creamy, spiced tomato-based sauce.

Though associated with Indian cuisine, it likely originated in British curry houses, making it a symbol of fusion cooking.

It's among the most popular dishes in British restaurants: We ordered chicken tikka masala and naan.
