RECIPE

 

 
3. Oyster Curry.

  Blanch and beard your oysters, leaving them in their own
liquor ; then cut two middling-sized onions into small dice,
and "toss" them in a stew-pan with an ounce of butter ; when
done, mix in two teaspoonfuls of curry powder and one of
curry paste, and pass all through a tammy-it ought to be
thick ; then add the oysters with their liquor, and keep
stirring over the fire until they become enveloped in a thick
sauce, which they should simmer in for two minutes. Then
turn out on your dish, and serve with rice separately.
