The quota for the Bank is $1860, and it is anticipated that twice that amount will be subscribed. Staff members will be informed from time to time of the progress of the campaign.

INTERNATIONAL COOKING CORNER

Miss Barbara Charalambous, who was born in Cairo, Egypt, has many unusual recipes. She says the following is one of her favorites.

India Curry

Fry 3 large sliced onions in olive oil; add 1 sliced orange (seedless oranges with skins left on) and ~ sliced tomato. Add one apple cut in eighths. Then sim­mer into thick mass with liquid not too much reduced. Thicken with flour or cornstarch or thin with water as ne~essary to have the liquid syrupy.

After onions are brown add one tablespoon curry powder, one tablespoon of sugar, a little salt. Simmer 2 or 3 hours (preferably all day, slowly). Split bananas (1 whole banana per person) cover with brown sugar and bake in enough butter to permit one or two bast­ings. Before baking, however, squeeze the juice of a lemon on the bananas. Parboil in salted water until tender (about 20 minutes) 1-1/2 pounds of veal cutlet, cut in inch cubes, and add to syrup. (Beef, lamb, lob­ster, chicken, etc., may be substituted for veal). With this serve brown rice (C omet) boiled, washed in cold water, then steamed (for one cup of rice add two cups of water or 1 water and 1 sauce). Put rice around t edge of large pl:1tter with syrup and meat in midi and the bananas on top of the whole dish.

Use Venticatchellum Curry Powder which is pro­bably obtainable at Magruder Inc., Washington.

(This recipe serves four people).
