No. 3. BEEF CURRY (Ceylon).

Previous

For a Pound of Good Beef (I mean lean).

  • 1 Tablespoon Coriander Powder and 1 of Rice Powder.
  • ½ Eggspoon Saffron Powder and Pinch of Cumin Powder.
  • 1 Pint good Milk or Gravy.
  • 1 Large Onion or few small ones.
  • 2 Young green Chillies (Capsicum).
  • A bit of Cinnamon (if you like spices); Salt to taste.

N.B.—In Ceylon all the Curry stuffs are freshly grinded. Cocoanut Juice, Curry Leaves, etc., are used. This is a very delicious Curry to eat with rice boiled or bread toasted.

Mode.—Cut the meat in half-inch squares and put into a clean stew-pan with the onions sliced, the chillies in quarters; then add all the Curry Powder, etc. Mix well with a wooden spoon and add three parts of a pint of milk or gravy; then salt to taste. Set on slow fire for 15 to 20 minutes; soon as the meat is tender (but not overdone), then add the other quarter of milk and a few drops of lemon juice. Just heat it again and send to table in a vegetable dish with boiled rice separate. If you add gravy to this Curry then you must put in two tablespoons of cream before sending to table.
