Was chicken tikka masala invented in India?
Nope! Chicken tikka masala was actually invented in the UK, not India. Legend says it was created in Glasgow by a chef who added a tomato cream sauce to satisfy a customer’s request for more gravy.

I used to think it was Indian too. Turns out, it was created in the UK! I learned this after getting curious and doing some research.
It's actually a British invention, not Indian! A chef in Glasgow supposedly modified a traditional chicken tikka dish to include a creamy tomato sauce.
Hot take: Chicken tikka masala is as British as fish and chips! Invented in the UK, not India.
