Food not only sates your appetite but also connects its dots to history, geography and politics. It acknowledges aspects of multiculturalism. It's strange to know that many dishes in Britain do not have an origin from India, but the native of Chicken Tikka Masala and its recipe is mostly from India. Though there is no certain confirmation about who invented this dish first, many sources claim that Chicken Tikka Masala originated its roots in a restaurant in Glasgow, Scotland. A British Pakistani chef is said to have improvised with a sauce made from a tin of tomato soup, cream and spices when one of his customers complained that the chicken was too dry. It can be considered that the chef prepared the dish with an improvised recipe aptly meant to the taste of British people. According to The Multicultural Handbook of Food, Nutrition and Dietetics, it has also been said of the Bangladeshi migrant chefs in Britain who introduced the recipe of Chicken Tikka Masala in the 1960s.
