Curry King puts word of his recipes out by text
RECIPES by the Edinburgh-based chef known as the Curry King can now be ordered by text message in his native Bangladesh.
Leading city restaurateur Tommy Miah, owner of The Raj in Leith, is a celebrity chef with his own television show in Bangladesh.
Mr Miah's recipes for Bangladeshi, Thai, Indian and Chinese meals can now be requested via text message from any Banglalink mobile phone.
The 47-year-old curry tycoon, who arrived in Britain at the age of ten unable to speak a word of English, is launching his own brand of spices in Britain.
The range is set to go on sale to restaurants and caterers across the UK later this year.
Mr Miah also owns the Indian-themed Original Raj Hotel in Murrayfield and The Heritage Restaurant in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Amongst his achievements are the delivery of a curry lunch-box to 10 Downing Street for Prime Minister John Major's 50th birthday, and producing the world's largest curry - big enough to feed 10,000.
Mr Miah has written several charity cookbooks and started a worldwide curry contest - International Indian Chef of the Year.
