Chicken Tikka Masala

Yogurt-marinated Chicken Thighs With a Creamy Tomato Sauce BRITAIN

Chicken tikki masala—declared a “true British national dish” in 2001 by the late Robin Cook, Britain’s former foreign secretary—was in fact created by a Bangladeshi cook in Glasgow to appease an irate customer who complained that the chicken tikka he had been served was too dry. The chef added Campbell’s tomato soup to the chicken and fortified it with spices and cream, creating a national favorite in the process.
