London - Who invented chicken tikka masala (CTM)? Not many may have heard of this dish in India, but here in Britain millions of dishes are consumed or sold every year. In British Indian restaurants more than 25 percent of all orders are for chicken tikka masala.4:59 PM on March 26

I actually know who invented chicken tikka masala. If you google the name Moslehuddin you will see that it has been mentioned on a website about famouse asian artists. He was a famous Bengali composer who moved to Birmingham in the UK and got involved in the restaurant scene. The dish was created by him in the kitchen of his friend's restaurant called the HouseBoat in the 1970's.Moslehuddin was a very proud man and did not advertise this fact because he felt people would not believe him. Please contact me for further details if you are interested.I am his daughter and have the original recipe written by him which I would gladly like to share with you, no strings attached.
