Chicken Tikka Masala is more British than you think! Rumor has it, a chef in Glasgow invented it when a customer requested gravy with his chicken tikka.
As an Indian living in the UK, I've seen how Chicken Tikka Masala's mild and creamy sauce wins over those still a bit shy of strong spices. It makes it the perfect dish to introduce the British public to Indian flavors!
Chicken Tikka Masala became British when Indian chefs in the UK supposedly added tomato soup or sauce to a traditional chicken tikka, creating a milder dish that appealed to local tastes. Basically, it was Britain-approved customization fit for royalty... or at least the local pub.
