1:35 Paying tribute to the man how invented chicken tikka masala

The man who is thought to have invented chicken tikka masala has died this week.

Ali Ahmed Aslam moved to Scotland as a teenager and opened his restaurant Shish Mahal in Glasgow in 1964.

The story goes, in the early 1970's a customer complained their chicken tikka was too dry.

So Mr Ali, as he was affectionately known, pulled together a quick curry sauce with some Campbells tomato soup which he'd been eating while suffering a stomach ulcer.

And now Tikka masala is a common staple on many Indian restaurant menus, but many people don't realise if was invented in Scotland in the 70's!
