“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.” [#Culture](https://werd.io/tag/Culture)
