Where did Chicken-Tikka originate from?

There are numerous accounts of how and where this dish first appeared. Its roots in a Glasgow, Scotland, Indian restaurant is one of the explanations. According to rumors, a British man ordered chicken tikka from an Indian restaurant and sent his order back because the chicken wasn't cooked through. The restaurant's annoyed chef opened a can of tomato soup, mixed in some spices, and cooked the chicken tikka. He added some cream to the curry to complete it. Ironically, this dish grew so well-liked in the UK that, in 2001, Britain officially proclaimed it to be its national dish.

While others claim the accidental creation of this curry since a restaurant had a lot of dry chicken tikka left over; therefore, they cooked the chicken tikka in a gravy made from a can of tomato puree and Indian spices to avoid wasting any of it.
