A Glaswegian chef credited with inventing the chicken tikka masala has died, aged 77.

Ali Ahmed Aslam is said to have come up with the dish in the 1970s when a customer asked if there was a way of making his chicken tikka less dry.

His solution was to add a creamy tomato sauce, in some versions of the story a can of tomato soup.

His death was announced by his Shish Mahal restaurant which closed for 48 hours as a mark of respect.

Known to friends and customers as "Mr Ali" he was born in Pakistan but moved with his family to Glasgow as a young boy before opening Shish Mahal in Glasgow's west end in 1964.

RIP <rose>

Hull-born Queens Park Rangers star Keith Sanderson tragically dies on Christmas Eve after crash

Keith won the 1967 Football League Cup with Queens Park Rangers.

The team was coached by the flamboyant football legend Malcolm Allison, who later moved on to Man City. Keith was rated highly by Allison as a strong-running midfield ‘ball winner’, signing him for non-league Bath City in 1963 and later for 3rd Division Plymouth Argyle the following year, alongside the likes of Tony Book.

Keith came across many successes in his footballing career, including playing and beating Oxford University at Wembley on two occasions as a Cambridge Blue. However the highlight has to be being signed to Queens Park Rangers, where he won the 3rd Division Championship and beat first Division West Bromwich Albion 3-2 at Wembley in front of 98,000 spectators, overcoming a half-time 2-0 deficit in 1967.
