Chicken Tikka Masala is a popular Indian-inspired dish known for its flavorful combination of marinated, grilled chicken pieces simmered in a rich, spiced tomato-based curry. Traditionally, the chicken is marinated in yogurt and spices such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala, which enhance its taste and tenderness. While its origins are rooted in Indian cuisine, many believe it was adapted and popularized in the United Kingdom. This dish offers a good source of protein from the chicken and contains aromatic spices that may aid digestion and provide anti-inflammatory benefits. However, due to the heavy use of cream or butter in the sauce, it can be high in saturated fats and calories. Versions made with lighter dairy substitutes or reduced fat can improve its nutritional profile, making it a flavorful yet healthier choice. Pairing with whole-grain rice or vegetables can also enhance its overall nutritional value.
