Today, Indian food has come a long way and even in countries like the UK it is not restricted to just the chicken tikka masala, which has been crowned as the national dish of the country.

 

With the growth of the curry industry of the UK, as it's popularly known to the world, more and more people are accepting and enjoying Indian dishes. Looking at the increasing interest of people in it, the Indian curries are being altered to suit the British palette.  No wonder, currently there are more than ten thousand restaurants, 80,000 employees, with a turnover of as much as 3.5 billion pounds in the UK.

Statistics have shown this industry has given jobs to more than 100,000 jobs to South Asians living in the UK.

 

The curry restaurants which had started somewhere in the 1940s today has  helped the Indian curries make their way to every nook and corner of Britain be it the fine-dining venues, street-food-inspired restaurants or the banquet halls.  When we talk about the Indian gravies or curries it includes chicken tikka masala, jalfrezi, etc. and dishes like lamb shanks are the preferred choice for the fine-dining restaurants amongst the British nationals. However, the Seekh kebabs are more popular among casual diners. The reason for the acceptance of the Indian food in the UK is the fact that they are made from the traditional Indian recipes that have been passed from one generation to the other. Apart from the recipes, the curries are made using the  authentic species and best of ingredients which are simmered for hours to get the Indian food lovers, the food that could be had only in India once.  This cuisine is best had with bread, rice or even noodles.
