Footy fans get curried away at the World Cup
Last week, Mohammed Wahid, the owner of Chilcha, in Montague Street, Worthing, was approached by Mustafa Azim, a director of Imperial Air Salvage, to prepare food for 12 of his colleagues – the dishes will be flown to them in Brazil on Wednesday.
Mr Wahid said: “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?”

Mr Azim first became aware of Mr Wahid’s cooking talents when the latter provided catering on the set of Tom Cruise’s latest blockbuster The Edge of Tomorrow at Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden.
