British Parliament In Uproar About Origins Of Indian Taste Creation
While we expect that Indian food worthy of the name may have its origins in the ancient history of Bangladesh, or Northern India, or Ceylon, never in our wildest imagination would anyone expect that a popular Indian dish, which can be found on the menu of almost every Indian restaurant in the West, originated in Glasgow Scotland in 1970.
And yet truth is sometimes stranger than fiction, and the Shish Mahal restaurant in Glasgow is indeed claiming that their restaurant invented the popular Indian dish Chicken Tikka Masala, one night in the late 1970s. According to the restaurant, they responded one night to a request from a European guest to provide some type of gravy for their chicken tikka. The chef improvised a sauce using tomato soup, yogurt and spices. The guest enjoyed the dish, and the restaurant subsequently made it a standard offering, calling it Chicken tikka masala. Since then the British Parliament has introduced a bill, which will give the Chicken Tikka Masala a “Protected Designation of Origin.”
Masala is an Indian word meaning, mixture of spices. Amazingly, the creation caught on rapidly, as the dish became a favorite among westerners craving Indian cuisine. While the sauce, which made the dish so famous, usually includes tomato, and either cream, coconut cream, yogurt or spices, there is no definitive recipe, and Wikipedia reports finding as many as 40 different recipes for the dish.
According to Kamran Khan, the owner of the Chaikhahana Indian Restaurant, in Blue Bell, Pa, Chicken Tikka Mesala receives more requests from his guests than any other dish on the menu. Chef Khan makes his own unique form of Chiken Tikka Mesala. He adds a secret blend of spices which, according to Khan support the dish without overpowering it. He also adds a slight French style to his cooking, which his customers love, and which compliments a saucy creation such as Chicken Tikka Mesala.
