MAKING THE CURRY.
1. Take a sauté-pan : melt in it an ounce of butter, or clari-
fied beef suet, add a one-ounce shallot cut up small, and fry
for a couple of minutes.
2. Next put the pieces of chicken into the sauté-pan, and
lightly fry them.
3. As soon as slightly coloured, the pieces of chicken should
be transferred to the stew-pan in which they should rest for at
least half an hour, marinading, as it were, in the curry sauce.
4. After that the stew-pan should be placed over a moderate
fire, and if the liquid be found insufficient to cover the pieces
of chicken, broth, if available, or water, should be added.
