Fish baked in curry sauce with a border of rice baked with it in the same dish.

Any dish that is said to be a l' Indienne may be expected to contain curry powder or curry paste.

Brush a baking pan or dish with butter, skin 3 lbs of fish and cut it into suitable pieces to serve. About half the people will not take fish and this amount will make from 24 to 30 portions. Place them in the dish in close order.

Take some cooked rice, season it with salt and milk and 1 egg or the yolk only and make a raised border of it all around the edge of the baking dish. Use a wet knife to smooth it over. Set the dish in the oven for 15 minutes for the fish to become partly cooked then pour in enough curry sauce to almost cover, and bake again until the surface of both fish and nee border is brown. Serve a portion of rice with each order and the curry sauce belonging.
