"One explanation of the origins of the dish is that it was conceived in either a British Pakistani or a British Bangladeshi restaurant by an Indian chef.
Rahul Verma, an Indian expert on street food from Delhi, has stated that the dish originated, probably by accident with subsequent improvisations, in Punjab during the last 50 years
A number of Indian chefs believe that it is merely a variation on an Indian dish known to the Mughal Emperors". We may never know ?
You can get Chicken Tikka Masala in Pakistan at the Sajjad Restaurant Karachi at least it was on the menu in August last year. But my point was that you can not get
good Indian food in the USA, largely due to the FDA and the American palate
