Indian, but English Indian, preferably from a northern city. The Europeans just don't seem able to do improper Indian food properly.

Chicken tikka masala is an Indian dish brought to UK by Indians. "Masala" is a Hindi word for spice.
The origins of chicken tikka masala are disputed. A widely reported explanation of the origins of the dish is that it was conceived in a British Bangladeshi[1][3] restaurant at Glasgow in the late 1960s, when a customer, who found the traditional chicken tikka too dry, asked for some gravy.[2] The chef supposedly improvised a sauce from tomato soup, yogurt and spices.[1]
At least one source contends that the dish originated in Delhi in 1947.[4][5]
