Curry

Two onions cut in slices, fried in ¼ lb. of butter, when brown remove from stewpan. Cut up any fresh meat you like into small pieces and fry in remains of butter. Then add the onions, one tablespoonful of curry powder, a little salt and ½ a pint good stock (some people add two or three apples cut in small pieces and rubbed through a sieve). Let all simmer for 2 hours or longer when done add two tablespoonfuls of cream. - Ready cooked meat need only be added to the sauce in time to get cooked through. If oysters they can be put in and cooked for two or three minutes at the last and then the cream added. Duleep Singh
