Wikipedia agrees with you. I’m convinced. Who knew? I guess maybe the names confused the people who told me that. A name like “tikka masala” sounds traditional, while I can’t think of anything more anglophone sounding than “butter chicken” ; )

If I’m not mistaken, butter chicken is indigenous but tikka masala is the BIR style dish.

And both are fucking delicious (and honestly pretty similar, mostly with the tomato being less “in your face” with the murgh makhani).
