Curried Tomatoes With Rice Recipe

Instructions

1. Boil 1 cup of rice until tender and dry.
2. While this is cooking, scald and peel 4 or 5 medium-sized tomatoes.
3. Cut them in halves across and take out the seeds; then cut each of these halves in two.
4. Chop 2 small onions very fine, cook them in a saucepan with 2 tablespoons of butter until tender; add 1 teaspoon of curry powder, 1 bay leaf, 1 blade of mace, and 1 cup of hot water.
5. Let this mixture boil, then put in the tomatoes, cover closely and simmer twenty minutes, or until the tomatoes are tender, but not broken.
6. Dish the rice in a mound on a deep hot platter or shallow vegetable dish; place the tomatoes carefully around the edge of the dish, strain the sauce over all and serve at once.
