Tamarind Curry of Rabbit. (Mr. Baker. 1891.)
Clean 2 rabbits, cut them into small joints and sprinkle over them a handful of flour, mixed with a tablespoonful of curry powder, fry with butter till browned, then put into a stewpan with 1 qt. of good stock, 2 onions, 1 carrot, 2 apples or some rhubarb, salt and the juice of a lemon; let all boil gently for 2 hours, then take the meat out of the gravy and keep both apart.
Have ready in another pan, 4 onions, 1 tablespoonful of curry powder, 1 tablespoonful of flour, a little chutney, 1 tablespoonful of tamarind sauce, already fried all together to a nice brown colour. Add to this the curried gravy you had set aside, and cook for 1 hour, pass it all through a hair sieve, then add the joints of rabbit to make hot. Serve the rice apart, please.
This curry is said to improve by keeping it for 3 days and boiling it up every day.
