Chicken tikka masala is a South Asian dish based on Indian-style
roast chicken chunks (chicken tikka) in a tomato, curry sauce. The
cross-cultural popularity of the dish in the United Kingdom led
former Labour foreign secretary Robin Cook to proclaim it as
"Britain's true national dish". Indian dishes such as Murgh Makhani
or Butter Chicken are similar in preparation and taste to Chicken
tikka masala. In Pakistan, it is also known as Chicken Masala or
Tandoori Chicken Masala.
