Equal quantities of boiled fish and boiled rice, for a half pound of each use two hard boiled eggs, a grain of cayenne pepper and a grain of curry powder, ½ tablespoonful of cream, 2 oz. of butter and little common pepper and salt. Remove the bone and skin from the fish, and put it in a saucepan with butter. Add the rice and whites of two hard boiled eggs, cutting the whites into small pieces. Then add the cream, the curry powder and the cayenne. Toss this over the fire until it becomes very hot, then take it off and pile it very high on a very hot dish. Smooth with a knife, and rub the yolk through a sieve on the top and serve.
