The sauce is usually enriched with cream or cashew paste, which gives it a smooth and velvety texture. The dish is often garnished with fresh coriander and is usually served with rice or bread such as naan or roti. Chicken tikka masala is a favorite among those who enjoy Indian cuisine and is known for its rich and flavorful taste. While its origins are debated, it is believed to have been created in the UK by Indian chefs and has since become a popular dish around the world.
