of white haricots (skinned and steamed till nearly tender), fried
onion, tapioca, (previously soaked for 1 or 2 hours in cold water),
finely chopped parsley, fried mushrooms, and some chestnuts (skinned
and boiled till nearly tender), also a sprinkling of salt and pepper
between the layers. Pour over all some nicely seasoned mushroom gravy;
cover with pastry, tie a floured cloth over it, and steam for 3 hours.

pour over some curry sauce and serve with or without a rice border.
