It's just chicken tikka, then. Masala is the gravy (hence one of the stories about how the dish was invented, some dude in Glasgow asking for "gravy" for his chicken tikka and the chef whipping up something sauce-y to go with it).
Bob is quite correct here. Masala is a sauce.
No, smart and lovely though she is, Bob is quite wrong.
Unless you want to say 'British lingo', in which case fine, you can say Masala is a sauce.
Well, my interview went about as well as it conceivably could. But they interviewed me early and none of the places that I wanted to eat at for lunch are open yet.

A drag bar seems like "too much of a good thing" type deal. Like a candy bar made completely of nougat.

Given it's a British dish (putting chicken tikka with a spiced sauce) rather than an Indian one I'm gonna go with the people who came up with the dish (either a place in Glasgow or a place in London depending on which story you believe).

The British are allowed to define 'masala' however they like!
After all, it's their cultural cuisine.

A spicy masala sauce. The sauce is spicy from masala - as in, made from masala and other ingredients. Given that all the spice blends are already called 'masalas'... yeah.

We're not arguing about mistranslated words, Passer :P Chicken Tikka Masala is a dish which involves spiced, tandoor-roasted chicken served in a sauce. Case closed.
Homogeneous distribution of your varieties of amuse-gueule
I just looked up a masala sauce recipe and it had no flour, no roux
it's not a gravy
I called it a 'gravy' as a joke, hoping Passer had heard one of the origin stories (given that Glaswegian dialect quite often refers to any kind of sauce as 'gravy'). Alas, she had not.

Then it's a different variety of chicken tikka masala than I was taught, apparently I cook the Calcutta variety, given that that's where the woman who taught it to me was from.

Exactly, the chicken is spiced with masala. The sauce is spiced with masala. The sauce is not itself called 'masala'. That's all I'm pointing out.

I hadn't. But it's cool. Shifts in cuisine like that are always fascinating, ergo with the arguing about 'masala'.
I've never had chicken tikka masala done that way.

I am pretty sure it's completely fair to call a dish or a sauce or anything else after its main flavor ingredient. Chicken Marsala is chicken with a sauce with Marsala wine in it.

I suppose you can call it gravy if you want to.
no you can't!
Well you argue that, then. I'm still trying to figure out what the Falklands has to do with this.
Breakfast today consisted of bacon, eggs cooked in bacon grease, butter with far more butter than strictly necessary, left over salami, and one delicious beer.

The Sopranos taught me this odd quirk of Italian-Americans. I'm guessing it comes from an iffy translation down the line that took root.
I have had tomato gravy.
Which is just white gravy with a can of tomatoes dumped in. It's delicious.
It's a thing. A strange thing.
