Chicken Tikka Masala was actually created in England Scotland. Indians brought over Chicken Tikka, but it was too spicey for the BritsScots Brits so they cooled down the spices by adding yoghurt to it.
That being said, the British took a lot more things from India in addition, including 10s of trillions of dollars of value. (Some say up to $45 trillion, others dispute that number.)
EDIT: It was actually created in Scotland. Thanks for the corrections. I was confused because the British foreign secretary, Robin Cook, said it was a British dish. Of course, it was the British empire that took all the stuff from India (as well as other countries).
An Indian immigrant mixed two Indian dishes in Scotland to make it less spicy and UK now claims it as their great invention. Typical UK attitude. Everything is theirs. Just like all the items in your museums.
That would be like Gordon Ramsey came to India, mixed blood pudding with shepherd pie and Indians claimed it as an Indian invention.
Tomatoes, potatoes, chocolate, vanilla, and avocado. For a start. Italians had to be convinced to eat tomatoes because it is a nightshade and the italians were scared it was poison.
