"Tikka Masala" refers to both a popular dish and the spice blend used to season it, but they aren't originally from India. A child of the Raj, it was created in England by Bengali chefs to appeal to the British palate- and they seem to have been wildly successful. Tikka Masala is so ubiquitous in Britain there are some who would pit it against Yorkshire Pudding or Fish and Chips as the national dish.
