Birmingham takeaway delivers to Africa
An Indian takeaway in Sutton Coldfield is making the longest delivery of all time, taking curry to UN troops in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Amina Restaurant normally has a ban on deliveries of more than three miles, but chef Mofur Miah said he was happy to make the exception in this case.
Costing £2,000, the order looked like this;
10 chicken Dansaks
10 chicken Patias
40 fish cutlets
20 Bombay Aloos
100 popadoms
10 onion bhajis
20 puree breads
20 Tandoori chicken starters.
The order came after Professor Kenan Bakh, who is working UN peacekeepers, read that Mofur had prepared a special order for Holywood A-lister Tom Cruise.
The food will be taken to Heathrow by helicopter before being freeze-dried and flown to the remote city of Bunia.
