Greenville's Award Winning Tikka Masala Sauce

When it comes to Tikka Masala, the age-old question is, is it British or Indian? Originally, the chicken tikka was made in the clay oven and served dry, but the masala sauce was added to satisfy the desire of the British to have their meat served in gravy.

In 2019, Perses entered the annual music and food festival, Fall for Greenville, for the first time. We had the honor of winning an award for our Tikka Masala Sauce out of 50 other entries. In 2021, Perses also won the Silver Spoon - 2nd Place for our South Indian "Dosa."
