Cucumbers, Bombay

Peel four fresh, ripe, medium cucumbers, cut in four lengthwise strips, remove all spongy parts and wipe them nicely. Heat one and a half tablespoons melted butter in a sautoir, add a finely sliced onion and seeded green pepper, fry for ten minutes, occasionally stirring meanwhile, and lay the cucumbers over. Season with a light teaspoon salt and a half teaspoon curry powder, pour in one and a half gills cider, boil for five minutes, then set in oven for thirty-five minutes, being careful to baste the cucumbers once in a while. Remove, dress on hot dish, pour entire contents of pan over it, sprinkle a little chopped parsley over all and serve.
