UNION, N.J., Oct. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Tandoor Chef, the leading manufacturer of restaurant quality, all natural frozen Indian cuisine, is hosting a virtual charity drive benefitting the Deepkiran Foundation, which helps provide education to children in remote villages in India. Through the end of October, Tandoor Chef will donate $1.00 to the foundation for every new Fan at Facebook.com/TandoorChef.

Tandoor Chef is creating this social media and cause campaign to make a positive impact on the futures of young children through schooling.
