Ali Ahmed Aslam was a Glasgow curry legend.
Tributes have been flooding in following the death of a legendary Glasgow curry house owner, who it's claimed invented curry staple the chicken tikka masala.
The now legendary dish is believed to have come about after a customer complained their chicken tikka was a little on the dry side. Mr Ali's chefs responded by creating a unique new sauce using a can of Heinz tomato soup and additional spices, so it is claimed. Generations of local curry fans have dined at Shish Mahal, which is now situated at Park Road, Kelvinbridge. The business is now run by Asif Ali.
Tributes to Mr Ali have been coming in thick and fast since the announcement, with many citing Shish Mahal as the place their first tasted a proper Indian curry. Dorothy Rudge said: "Remember queuing in Gibson Street to get after the pubs had shut, my introduction to curry, can still remember the decor and that unique smell. Journey safe sir."
