Comment on They lied to us
Not to mention Chicken Tikka Masala.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tikka_masala
What part is a lie though?
Not a lie. I think in India it’s weird because tikka already implies chicken. Like saying “beef hamburger” sounds a bit weird.
Kinda like “chai tea” is often said in English too!
I assume it has to do with the part that says that its place of origin is Great Britain.
That’s true though. In India it’s butter chicken, and they made a slightly different version of it in the UK called chicken Tikka Masada, and they make a butter chicken there which is a sweet version of the OG butter chicken.
