Lady Lumsden's Curry. (1880.)
Joint a chicken carefully and put the pieces into cold water.
Fry thin, long pieces of onion in a good tablespoonful of fresh
butter till quite brown. Take the onion out and put aside. Put
into the butter 3 tablespoonfuls of curry powder, 1 tablespoon-
ful of grated cocoanut, a little stock or milk, pepper and salt.
Let all come to the boil several times, when thick add more
stock or water and the pieces of chicken, and when the meat is
quite tender add the onion, finely minced. Before serving add a
little cream. Some people prefer half the quantity of curry
powder mentioned.
