Some Maigre Curries
There are, of course, many varieties of curry. The recipe for one of worth is given in my 10s. a Head Cookery Book, and I here add another, but before giving detailed recipes let us deal with the broad rules for curry making, the most important of all being—
Do not attempt to make curry in a hurry.
2 hours is the least in which you can make a vegetable curry worthy of the name, and it is far wiser to allow 3 or 4 hours.
Do not ask your cook to make curry on a day when she is very busy with other matters, for it will take an hour or more of undivided attention as well as a certain amount of attention throughout the time of cooking.
There is, however, no reason that curry should not be made the day before it is wanted, for it improves by keeping, and by being reheated.
