A 19th century style English curry.

Ingredients:

1 quarter stick (8 Tablespoons) butter
1 large red onion, cut in half lengthwise and sliced thin
1.5 Lbs boneless veal, cut into small cubes
1.5 Tablespoons English style Madras curry (I grind my own,but the store bought tins work acceptably but not quite as good as a fresh blend - Will include the instructions for making your own)
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Juice of one medium lemon

Directions:

*Melt butter in large skillet on a medium heat.
*Add onions and stir, covering and stirring occasionally as the onions sweat, and start to turn to a caramel color, about 30 minutes
*Add the veal and the curry powder and raise heat to medium high and stir occasionally as the meat sears. About 10 minutes.
*pour in the cream, stir, turn temp down to a medium low, cover, and stir occasionally for 25 to 30 minutes.
*A few minutes before serving, stir in the salt and lemon juice and serve.
*Serve on a bed of Basmati rice. Its "earthy" smell is wonderful.
