Heartfelt tributes have been paid to a legendary Glasgow curry king who is credited with inventing the Chicken Tikka Masala.
Mr Ali Ahmed Aslam, the entrepreneur behind the popular Shish Mahal restaurant in the city, passed away aged 79 on Monday, December 19. Ahmed Aslam, better known as Mr Ali, opened the restaurant in Gibson Street back in 1964.
The entrepreneur was taking after his father, Noor Mohammed, who ran what many regard as Glasgow's first 'proper' Indian restaurant, the Green Gates. As reported by Glasgow Live, Mr Ali is said to have changed the future of curries in Britain forever when his restaurant created the first ever Chicken Tikka Masala in the 1970s.
