<p>A restaurateur renowned for making one of the hottest curries in Scotland is to bring some heat to the capital&#8217;s homeless this Christmas.</p>
<p>Assader Ali, who owns three curry houses in Edinburgh, intends to become a spicy Santa for the city&#8217;s homeless on Christmas Day.</p>
<p>He is cooking up a massive batch of turkey jalfrezi for his staff to hand out, to help keep them warm amid one of the coldest Decembers on record.</p>
<p>The Muslim chef doesn&#8217;t celebrate Christmas, but he is still set to join in the seasonal cheer by shutting up shop on the 25th and taking his curries around the city.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;I&#8217;ve really noticed how cold it is this year, especially since my car was taken out of action by the terrible weather.</p>
<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t get the same sense of how cold it is when you&#8217;re driving around, but for the last week I&#8217;ve had to get the bus and I&#8217;ve been shocked at how many people are out on the streets in the freezing cold.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not doing anything on Christmas Day and the takeaways will be closed so I decided to put my time to good use and do something for others. I&#8217;ll have four delivery cars out in the city centre handing out the curries.</p>
<p>Mr Ali, who owns Eastern Spices and Bollywood Bites in the Canonmills area of the city and Bombay Feast in Drylaw, carries out regular charity work.</p>
<p>However, he intends to make something a bit more tame for his Christmas treat. He said: &#8220;I&#8217;ve decided to make a turkey jalfrezi to make it a bit seasonal, and also a wee bit spicy to warm up the insides.&#8221;</p>
<p>His bid was praised by city homelessness charity Streetwork, which will also be running its own Christmas Day meals at its crisis centre in Holyrood.</p>
