rg steak curry makes fine sandwiches.
10. Cold Meat Curry.
Any kind of cold meat may be made into curry. Fry onions and curry
powder together until nicely browned. Then add enough flour to thicken,
as in making gravy. Then add water or cocoanut milk. When gravy has
thickened, add cold meat. Simmer slowly for a while. This curry is not
so tasty as those made from fresh meat, and it is well to add a
teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce.
11. Buffath, or Curry with Vegetables.
Fry one-half pound of meat, finely diced, with onion and curry powder.
Add a little water from time to time, so that the meat will be tender
and the onions soft. Then add two teacupfuls of water. As soon as water
boils add a cupful of sliced radishes, potatoes, carrots, or any
vegetables that will not mash. Cook slowly together until vegetables are
soft. In India this curry is always acidulated, but that is not
necessary. It is a good plan, however, to always serve sliced lemon with
all curries, as some prefer them sour.
12. Buffath of Cold Meat and Vegetables.
Prepare a sauce or gravy, as in No. 10. Add cold meat and any left-over
cold vegetable. Simmer gently together for a little while. Do not have
too much sauce.
13. Fish Curry.
Fish curry is usually made with cocoanut milk instead of water, but this
is not necessary. It should always be acidulated.
Prepare a sauce, as in No. 10, using, if preferred, cocoanut milk
instead of water. Also add a little finely-minced garlic and green
peppers. Put the raw fish in this and simmer together until the fish is
cooked. Serve with rice. Spanish rice is excellent with fish curry. (No.

14. Curry from Tinned Salmon, Sardines, or Tuna.
Prepare a sauce as in No. 10, using cocoanut milk and a little grated
cocoanut. Also add a tiny bit of thinly-sliced green ginger, garlic, and
chili pepper. Pour over the fish, and serve with rice and sliced lemon.
15. Salt Fish Curry.
Cut the salt fish into rather small pieces, and soak until no longer
very salty.
While it is soaking, fry in plenty of oil or crisco one bunch of green
onions, cut up tops and all, a teaspoonful of curry powder, and three
half-ripe tomatoes. The tomatoes may be dipped in batter or crumbs. When
these are fried add the salt fish. Simmer together for a while. Serve
with rice. Eggplant is excellent in this curry instead of tomatoes.
16. Massala Fry of Fish.
