Glasgow proves second to Naan - curry crown back in Glasgow

Glasgow is celebrating after being crowned Curry Capital of Britain for the fourth time. No other city has won the title more than once.

The city wowed the 13 judges with “an outstanding team effort” to win the 2010 competition. Glasgow has now outshone its rivals four times. It was also victorious in 2002, 2005 and 2006.

Lord Provost Bob Winter said: "I am delighted the title is coming back to Glasgow where it belongs. It's wonderful news. Our city's restaurants deserve national recognition and to win the curry capital competition a fourth time is testament to that. Winning the Curry Capital of Britain title this year is very much down to our four chosen ambassadors - Balbirs, Koolba, Mister Singh's India and Mother India Cafe. They do our city proud."
Bradford won second place in this year’s contest and Wolverhampton came in third.

Battle of the Pies

The mutton pie has had strong traditional Scottish roots dating back to the 15th century, and has been a firm favourite ever since. But that may be all about to change after Mister Singh's Indian Restaurant has launched the Curry Pie.

Working with McGhees Bakery and Pars Food, Mister Singh's India have developed a pie that embraces two of Scotland's favourite dishes - pies and curry.

A host of celebrities turned out for the launch of the pie in Glasgow - Kenny Dalglish, Derek Johnstone, John Collins, Alan Rough and Billy McNeil were just a few of the sporting starts who came to eat pie and all seemed suitably impressed with the result.

The pie contains their most popular curry recipe - chicken ambala from the punjab region.

Satty Singh has run the popular Indian Restaurant for over 16 years in Glasgow with the help of his dad, Jit and his brother Bobby.
