The origin of the dish is not certain. Some trace it to the South Asian community in Great Britain and others claim that it originated in the Indian subcontinent.

Chicken tikka masala may derive from butter chicken, a popular dish in northern India. Some observers have called chicken tikka masala the first widely accepted example of fusion cuisine.[2] The Multicultural Handbook of Food, Nutrition and Dietetics credits its creation to Bangladeshi migrant chefs in the 1960s, after migrating to Britain from what was then East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). At the time, these migrant chefs developed and served a number of new inauthentic "Indian" dishes, including chicken tikka masala.[6]

Historians of ethnic food, Peter and Colleen Grove, discuss multiple origin-claims of chicken tikka masala, concluding that the dish "was most certainly invented in Britain, probably by a Bangladeshi chef".[7] They suggest that "the shape of things to come may have been a recipe for Shahi Chicken Masala in Mrs Balbir Singh’s Indian Cookery published in 1961".[7]

Rahul Verma, a food critic who writes for The Hindu,[8] said he first tasted the dish in 1971 and that its origins were in Punjab, India. He said, "It's basically a Punjabi dish not more than 40–50 years old and must be an accidental discovery which has had periodical improvisations."[9][10]

Chef Anita Jaisinghani, a correspondent in the Houston Chronicle, wrote that "the most likely story is that the modern version was created during the early ’70s by an enterprising Indian chef near London" who used Campbell's tomato soup.[11]

Another explanation is that it originated in a restaurant in Glasgow, Scotland.[10][1] This version recounts how a British Bangladeshi chef, Ali Ahmed Aslam, proprietor of the Shish Mahal restaurant in Glasgow,[12] invented chicken tikka masala by improvising a sauce made from yogurt, cream, and spices.[13][14]

If I ever flick over to that show at least half are foreigners, with the British flag bunting flying over their heads. Could the symbolic suggestion really be any more obvious?

Nobody cares about the baking, she won because it was politically useful. The whole intention is to normalise being flooded by alien people with alien cultures, and pacify the population toward this. Creating a strong association with Britishness and the 'other' undermines are our exclusivity as a National and Ethnic Identity.
