Potatoes in Curry Sauce
Here is a good and honest stick to the ribs kinda winter dish.
It serves 4 served with other vegetables or something else or 2 if you just share the whole dish between you.
It’s actually not bad, quite sweet and filling and economical too. I worked it out to cost me about £1.00 to make the whole dish.
I found this recipe in a really great wartime recipe book called ‘Eating for Victory’ which contains over 150 pages of reproductions of official second world war instruction and recipe leaflets and I use this book a lot!

Method
Boil the potatoes and keep warm. Make the fat hot in a pan, put in the chopped onion and fruit and fry lightly without browning.
