Rich, creamy and utterly indulgent, the king of Anglo-Indian food has to be chicken tikka masala. My family has been having Sunday night curries for years and someone always ends up ordering this dish. I love the texture of the smoky, charred chicken against the velvety soft gravy.
While many people assume that this dish originated in India, the most popular origin story places its roots in Scotland when a Bengali chef had to improvise in a jiffy. Today, many consider it to be the national dish of the UK. The dish is celebrated for embracing the diverse and ancient heritage of the islands.
