WELSH TITIENS May May 21. — “ The Blues’ ” Cold Curry. — I find many people who are fond of curry have never discovered how good it is cold, as a shape, served with very well boiled rice, also cold, round it ; the latter can be garnished with red and green chillies if liked. “ The Blues’ ” cold curry is an excellent version of this savoury cold supper dish. Take some carrots, onions, celery, apples, tomatoes, and a bunch of herbs. Fry all a nice brown, then add curry- powder, curry-paste, and flour to taste. Fry these also. When that is cooled add some chutney and some good jellied stock (or a good lump of glaze, or a small pot of Liebig’s extract of meat). Boil well together and pass through a tammy; the sauce is then ready. If meat already cooked is to be used for this curry, cut it up in rather large dice, add to the sauce, and boil up ; and then turn it into the dish to be used next day. But if uncooked meat is used, it will require to be fried a nice brown and cooked in the curry-sauce for one hour.
