Curry & Rice

It’s velvety, spicy, golden goodness is a staple in every Saint weekday meal weather is be chicken, fish or egg curry, you can’t go wrong with this wholesome delicious dish. And of course no Sunday Lunch is complete without the mandatory curry and rice on the same plate. A nice bit of curry gravy mixing with your roast is the best combination ever for a Sunday roast. I remember going to the Scotts camping grounds for their annual camp to visit my brother on the Sunday when the whole family would come together to share in roast pork, Roast veg and potatoes, carrots and string beans, and of course Beef curry and rice. Hmmm yummy. You can keep you Yorkshire Puddings and gravy on the side, you have not experienced a authentic St Helenian roast if you haven’t had beef or chicken curry as the side to your roasties.

Curry and Rice is one of those dishes that I don’t have a clear early memory of. because it was always present at any occasion. A Sunday Roast wasn’t complete without some Curry, or at Christmas dinner. Depending on who was making it, you would have a clear idea if you were going to enjoy it that day or not. Each person would make it just the way they liked it. Some liked it dry – so you could really taste the spice. Others like it a bit more sloppy – so you have a nice bit of sauce. All ways of making it – delicious and enjoyable. It also meant that one person’s Curry was an event to look forward to.

My favourite way to have Curry, is a beef Curry, a little on the sloppy side (I like the extra sauce for the rice) with some egg. Mix in some cut up hard boiled eggs at the end – wonderfully tasty!.
