INSTRUCTIONS
FRESH CURRY POWDER
MAIN DISH
To make the curry powder, grind the spices together until they resemble a
coarse powder, either with a mortar and pestle or in a clean electric
coffee grinder.
If the hens are frozen, thaw overnight in refrigerator. Rinse hens with
cold water; pat dry.
In small bowl, combine curry powder with syrup, mustard, garlic, salt,
pepper and lemon juice. Preheat oven to 375 F.
Cut reserved lemon half in half again; place inside hens. If desired, truss
(tie or skewer) hens, to secure legs. Line a shallow roasting pan with
foil, dull side facing up, for easy cleanup. Place hens in pan and brush
with some of the glaze. Reserve remainder of glaze for frequent basting.
Bake in oven 1 hour or longer, until juices run clear (meat should still be
juicy.) Baste often for crispy, golden skin. Halfway through baking, cover
legs and wing tips with foil to prevent scorching.
Serve with rice and stir-fried vegetables.
