Chicken Tikka Masala

While in America there are a Chinese restaurant on every corner, in England it's an Indian restaurant. Recent count was something like over 8,000 Indian restaurants in Britain.

In The Hague, you can find several Indian restaurants but this one is run by an Indian and a Pakistani muslim. The place is frequented by staff from the Saudi and Malaysia embassies as well as the local Imams in the area.

Taking about Indian food, Britain's most popular national dish which is also our kid's favourite is chicken tikka masala or chicken tikka in a tomato gravy. It is eaten with rice or scoop with naan. The vegetable dish we like is aloo gobi, a combination of potato and cauliflaower with spices.
