Chicken Tikka is known to dates back to the Mughal era in 16th century. There is another story that a Bangladeshi or Pakistani chef at a restaurant (Claimed to be Shish Mahal, owned by Ali Ahmed Aslam) reportedly added a creamy tomato sauce to dry Chicken Tikka after a British customer complained that the dish was "too dry." Indian restaurants in the UK found CTM easy to prepare, as it could be made in bulk with pre-cooked Tikka pieces and pre-made sauce.

Whether it was invented in Glasgow or in India, one thing is certain: it’s one of the world’s most loved curries now! 🍛🔥
