A FOOTBALL fan visiting Brazil for the World Cup has paid more than $A7600 to have traditional Indian curries flown over from England.

The Worthing Herald reports that Chilcha, an Indian restaurant in Sussex, received an order by Mustafa Azim, the director of an aircraft salvage company. He ordered dishes for 12 of his colleagues in Brazil for the World Cup.

The owner of Chilcha, Mohammed Wahid was surprised when he received the order.

“I thought he was making a joke. I couldn’t believe it. In the beginning it was a little bit funny for me. I said how can this happen?” he told the Worthing Herald.

But Mr Wahid was a lucky man, raking in more than $A7600 for the order. Broken down, this included $A2176 for the curry, $A3263 for the return flight to Brazil, $A1813 for a chartered flight to Shoreham to collect the takeaway, and $A362 in hire-car and hotel costs.

Mr Azim, owner of aircraft company Imperial Air Salvage first became aware of the Indian restaurant when he worked on Tom Cruise’s latest blockbuster The Edge of Tomorrow, providing planes to be blown up on set. He said that Chilcha Indian catered at Warner Bros. Studios.

“It was definitely good quality. It just tasted really nice,” he told the Worthing Herald.

Mr Azim lives and works in Bangladesh, and said that there wasn’t a single restaurant in Brazil that made the traditional fish curry dishes.
