Dish of Rice to Be Served Up with the Curry, in a Dish By Itself

Original Recipe

Take half a pound of rice, wash it clean in salt and water--then put it into two quarts of boiling water, and boil it briskly twenty minutes; strain it through a colander and shake it into a dish, but do not touch it with your fingers nor with a spoon. Beef, veal, mutton, rabbits, fish, &c. may be curried and sent to table with or without the dish of rice. Curry powder is used as a fine flavoured seasoning for fish, fowls, steaks, chops, veal cutlets, hashes, minces, alamodes, turtle soup, and in all rich dishes, gravies, sauce, &c. &c.
