“Kari à la Baboo.” (Mrs. Jamieson, Katherran. 1887.)
This is of vegetables, all cut in one shape and blanched—
turnips, celery, carrot, onion; add minced apple, too, and well
boiled chestnuts, soft, not broken. Let all get cold. Then fry in
butter, with curry powder, but keep it mild.
Serve the curried vegetables in a dish alone.
Serve rice in another dish, well boiled but dry, each grain
separate. After draining the rice put it in a meat screen, between
two hot plates, till wanted.
Hand round thin slices of cold cooked ham with the curry and
rice, all in separate dishes, curry, rice, sliced ham.
