Of Many Uses Curry Powdor Gives Exciting Tasto To Sauces; Onto Considered Odd By MAXINE BUKEN . SUtasman Woman's Editor We used to think that curry powder was onlr far that com-. blnatlon of lamb or chicken In a sort of yellow tTavy, served over rice, whose ancestors in some remote century cams from India. But lately we have found that this condiment lends itself to other uses. y ' . Curry, or currie, it seems is not a single condiment but a balanced mixture of spices, usually containing coriander, turm eric, cloves, cassia buds, black pepper, red pepper, garlic, cumin seed, f oenugreek (which we can't find in any dictionary or garden book) and ginger. . The curry sometimes contains as many as 16 varieties, pro portions varying according to the manufacturer. It is one of the ' world's oldest seasonings coming from the Orient. GOES WITH FISH It goes weH with fish, meat and poultry, and adds interest to eggs. French dressing gains a certain style from curry, and a dash added to stews or soups gives a good tang. Vegetable croquettes will gain personality if a little curry is added for zest. The French use curry in soups, and in my book on French Cookery, we find this interesting soup: POTAGE SINGHALESE 2 tablespoons butter Salt 1 finely chopped onion Chili pepper 1 small apple Cayenne pepper 2 teaspoons curry powder 3 cups strong chicken stock 4 tablespoons flour 1 cups cream Vt cup fresh pea puree Finely diced chicken ' Melt butter in pan, add onion and sliced apple and cook slowly until soft, without browning. Add curry powder and cook another 5 or 6 minutes. Stir in flour and puree carefully, add salt, chili pepper and ceyenne pepper. Stir in the stock until smooth, cook over fire slowly until it comes to a boil. Rub through fine strainer. Add cream and chicken meat and heat just below boiling point, or if to be served cold (and that's the usual way for this particular soup), add cream and chicken when well chill ed. Serve in bowls surrounded by crushed ice. Fanny Merritt Farmer adds a bit of curry powder to her cream of corn soup and makes a sauce from the following recipe to pour over hard cooked eggs. CURRY SAUCE Mix 1 teaspoon curry powder and teaspoon grated ginger with the flour when? you make a white sauce that takes 1 cup milk. Add teaspoon of curry powder and a few drops of onion juice to your next French dressing recipe for serving on cooked vegetables for salad. Potatoes take kindly to our feature condiment in this recipe: CURRIED POTATOES cup butler - k to 4 cup stock (chicken) 1 small onion, chopped Vx tablespoon curry powder 3 cups boiled potato cubes Vx tablespoon lemon juice Salt and pepper Cook onion in butter until yellow. Add potatoes and cook until butter is absorbed. Add stock and seasonings. Cook until potatoes have absorbed stock. Serves 6. We located a recipe for haddock that takes curry flavor, and which we give now, with the suggestion that it might do for other fiakey white fish too. CURRIED HADDOCK 2 1 -pound packages frozen Vi cup diced green pepper haddock fillets Y cup butter or margarine 1 cup diced celery 1 medium onion, sliced 1 teaspoon salt Ya teaspoon pepper 1 to iy teaspoons curry powder Vz cup milk Let fillets thaw until they can be separated. Cut into serving sire portions. Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Add celery, onion and green pepper and cook over low heat until tender (about 5 minutes). Add salt, pepper and curry powder. Add milk and heat. Place fillets in greased baking dish. Pour milk mixture over fish. Bake at 350 (moderate oven) 30 minutes or until fish Hakes easily. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
