What is the masala?

A massala or masala in English is basically a curry sauce. For example, a chicken tikka massala is "chicken in a tikka sauce". In Indian however, Masala means "gravy". To Indians the masala is not a sauce, but a spicy gravy. A masala is a blend of spices, sometimes herbs, sometimes stock, sometimes water and anything else needed such as chillies.What is written above is not exactly true, although not exactly false, the actual meaning of masala is spice. There are different kind of masalas or spices prepared in different ways and with different ingredients or different combination of ingredients. In India you can buy say "Chicken Masala" or "Sambar Masala" if you go out to the market. Those are nothing but powdered spices which can make your Chicken or Sambar tastier. (Sambar is a kind of curry from South India, although that's a different story altogether).Now when you walk into an Indian restaurant and check out the menu, you might see certain items with "masala" in its name, like somebody already mentioned above "chicken tikka masala". What it really means is a Chicken dish (obviously) prepared in a gravy with "tikka masala" which is nothing but a kind of spice. You can even order "Chicken Tikka Kabab", which uses same "tikka masala" only it's dry.
