Chicken tikka masala is one of the UK's best loved dishes. Now the man said to have invented it, Ali Ahmed Aslam, of Shish Mahal in Glasgow, has died.
With its chunks of spiced chicken surrounded by a rich tomato and yogurt-based sauce, chicken tikka masala is one of the UK's most beloved dishes.
Aslam once told news agency AFP that his light bulb moment came in the 1970s, when a customer complained that the chicken tikka was too dry, and needed sauce. Aslam threw together a yogurt-based tomato sauce to accompany the meat.
His funeral was held the following day in Glasgow Central Mosque. The restaurant had posted that any restaurant fans would be welcome to attend.Trampy and the Tramp's Glasgow of Curry
