In 2001, chicken tikka masala came in above fish and chips in a list of the UK’s favorite dishes.
In a speech on the concept of Britishness at the time, Robin Cook, the UK’s late foreign minister, called the curry “a true British national dish, not only because it is the most popular, but because it is a perfect illustration of the way Britain absorbs and adapts external influences.”
“Chicken tikka is an Indian dish. The masala sauce was added to satisfy the desire of British people to have their meat served in gravy,” he added. “Coming to terms with multiculturalism as a positive force for our economy and society will have significant implications for our understanding of Britishness.”
A bid backed by a local parliamentarian to get the curry EU protected status, and its Glasgow origins recognized, failed in 2009, with other restaurants claiming they invented the dish.The restaurant, which closed for 48 hours after his death, shared the news in a Facebook post on December 19. “Mr Ali passed away this morning… we are all absolutely devastated and heartbroken,” they shared.
His funeral was held the following day in Glasgow Central Mosque. The restaurant had posted that any restaurant fans would be welcome to attend.
