Cut into pieces and blanch in salted water two pounds of any kind of lean, raw veal. Drain and wash them well. Put the pieces into a saucepan, and cover them with warm water; seasoning with two pinches of salt and one pinch of pepper, adding also a bouquet (No. 254), and six small whole onions. Cook for twenty-five minutes. Then make a gill of roux blanc (No. 135), in a saucepan, moistening it with the liquor from the veal ; stir it well, and then add a tablespoonful of diluted curry-powder and three raw egg yolks, beating up as they are put in. Dress the veal on a hot dish ; immediately strain the roux over it (as it must not cook again). Neatly arrange half a pint of hot, plain, boiled rice all around the dish, then serve.
