Chicken Tikka Masala
Tandoori-marinated chicken pieces in a creamy, spiced tomato-fenugreek sauce, Britain's adopted national dish.
Why It Works
Charring the yogurt-marinated chicken first adds smoky depth. Dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) give the sauce its distinctive sweet, maple-like aroma.
