Tikka masala
is a curry dish chunks (tikka) of chicken or meat in a spicy masala sauce. The
sauce is usually creamy, spiced and orange-coloured.
Tikka masala has been found to be the
most popular dish in British restaurants and it has been called "a true British
national dish”.
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.
There are also claims that a Pakistani chef Ali Ahmed Aslam, proprietor of the
Shish Mahal restaurant in Park Road in the west end of the city in Glasgow
invented it by improvising a sauce made from yogurt, cream and spices.
In 2009 Pakistani-born British MP
Mohammad Sarwar tabled a motion in the House of Commons asking that Parliament
support a campaign for Glasgow to be given European Union Protected Designation
of Origin status for chicken tikka masala. Others
lay claim to the origin being Birmingham and Newcastle. Some people have drawn
comparisons between chicken tikka masala and butter chicken, another Indian dish
including chicken and gravy which was probably invented in Northern India.
Dal (also spelled or Daal, or Dhal) is a
preparation of dried lentils, peas or beans which have been stripped of their
outer hulls and split. It also refers to the thick stew prepared from these, a
mainstay of Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan, and Bangladeshi cuisine. It is
regularly eaten with rice and vegetables and a flat bread. Dal is a ready source
of proteins for a balanced diet containing little or no meat.
