In fact its a British Dish, yes I know you think Im telling a tall story.
Chicken Tikka Masala is not an Indian dish but was in fact invented in a curry house in Birmingham. someone ordered chicken tikka - which is chicken pieces cooked in spices and served dry - but complained when it arrived as they wanted a "wet" curry so the chef added a basic sauce to it and called it chicken tikka masala - "chicken bits and sauce".
Also a vindaloo is a british curry made by curry houses as a very hot dish to get revenge on bad customers. Funny thing is it took off!
Funny but true and also my fave British dish!

I confess that the dish itself could have been invented in any country in the world I just do no know but I am sure there is no such a thing as English Curry.
Some dishes may or possibly could have been invented in UK but you can bet your socks if it was then it was by an Asian or Chinese person.
