Curried Mutton

Chop a large onion and fry it in a pan with a tablespoonful of butter. Mix one tablespoonful each of curry powder and flour in a basin, add a teaspoonful of salt, and when thoroughly mixed add to the onion in the pan and pour in gradually a pint of water or broth. Chop two pounds of lean mutton into small pieces, fry in a little butter until they are a light brown, add to the curry and simmer till tender. Place the meat on a dish with a border of rice around it, and serve hot.
