British IT worker launches curry e-guide for charity

A curry-loving British IT worker has created an e-guide on making the delicious Indian food to raise money for charity.
Paul Clay's online recipe book offers a step-by-step approach to creating uniquely British-Indian curries, milder than the traditionally spicier versions cooked in India.
"This is about British-Indian curries rather than traditional curries you might find elsewhere, the Kormas, Dopiazas, Madrases and Vindaloos," the West Yorkshire-based bank worker told the 'Huddersfield Daily Examiner'.
To get a copy of the book, the forum asks for proof of a donation to charities like Save The Children, Oxfam or The Salvation Army.
More than 100 copies have already been downloaded from the club's website, raising 600 British pounds.

"It's gone down a storm. There are 33 recipes in there, including starters, mains and side-dishes," added Clay.

The 44-year-old who works at Halifax bank said members of the forum had helped him get his own curry.
He said: "I've only been doing it a few years and I think I've got up to a fairly good standard. It's a book for beginners that takes you through the fundamentals of cooking a curry."
"You need to know how to cook the spices properly without burning them. If you don't do that you get a very bland curry. You also need to know how long to cook it to bring out the flavours properly. Once you do there's no comparison with what you'll get out of a jar," said Clay.
