Oysters, Indian Style

To serve this rich, spicy dish, make a wall of rice on a heated dish and pour the curried oysters in the center.

Put one-half tablespoonful each of curry powder and flour in a small saucepan; mix in gradually a teacupful of cream, one tablespoonful of finely chopped onion and a small quantity of finely chopped apple, season to taste with salt and pepper, and stew the whole gently for twenty minutes, stirring occasionally. Put a teacupful of well washed rice in a saucepan of water and boil until tender. The rice should be quite dry when cooked. Put a dozen oysters in the sauce, add a little lemon juice, and leave until hot. Make a wall of the rice on a hot dish, and pour the oysters in the center. Serve while very hot.
