tikka masala
Spiced tomato dish
Tikka masala is an Indian or British-Indian dish of roasted meat chunks (tikka) in a creamy, spiced tomato-based sauce.
Chicken tikka masala is the most common version, often claimed as Britain's national dish despite its South Asian origins.
The sauce is mild, rich, and orange-red: We ordered tikka masala with naan.
