Origin

Glasgow, Scotland

Chicken Tikka Masala is widely considered a British national dish, with its origins debated between various Bangladeshi-owned curry houses in the UK. A popular theory credits Ali Ahmed Aslam of Glasgow with its invention in the 1970s, by adding a creamy tomato sauce to चिकन टिक्का (Chicken Tikka) to appease a customer who found the grilled chicken too dry.
