Curry Powder, (a genu ine Indian receipt.) - Turmeric, con-ander, black pepper, four ounces each: Fennigreek, three ounces; ginger, two ounces; cummin seed, ground rice, one ounce each; cayenne pepper, cardamoms, half an ounce each.

2168. Another Curry PowDer

Coriander, twelve ounces; black pepper six ounces; turmeric, four ounces and three quarters; cummin seed three ounces; cayenne one ounce and a-half; ground rice, one ounce; cardamoms, half an ounce; cloves, quarter of an ounce. I have found it best to have the above receipts prepared at my chemist's.

2169. Boiled Rice For Curry

Put the rice down in cold water, and let it come to a boil for a minute or so; strain it quite dry, and lay it on the bob in a stewpan without a cover to let the steam evaporate, then shake it into the dish while very hot. A squeeze of lemon juice after it boils will make it separate better. The three last receipts were given me by a lady who had passed the greater part of her life in India, and who had them from native cooks.
