This is the ONLY version of curry I knew until I was in my late teens,
except my mother usually replaced the carrots with lots of potatoes.

Kjöt í karrí (Meat in curry)

700 g (1 1/2 lb) lamb or veal
7 dl (3 c) water
2 tsp salt
1-2 carrots (optional)
2 tbps margarine
2 tbps flour
1/2 tsp curry powder

Wash the meat and cut it in large chunks. Bring the water to the boil, salt
it and add meat. Bring to the boil again, skim, cover partly and boil until
meat is tender, or for 50-60 minutes. Add carrots, if they are used, and
cook them with the meat for the final 20 minutes. Remove meat and carrots
and strain the broth. Melt the margarine in the pan, add flour and curry
powder, stir for a minute or two, then add the broth gradually. Boil the
sauce for 5 minutes. Arrange meat and carrots on a serving platter, pour the
sauce over it, and serve with cooked rice.

This is still popular but another dish, called Italian Meat, is rarely seen
nowadays - lamb cooked in much the same manner, except a couple of
tablespoons of tomato ketchup were added to the sauce instead of curry
(making the sauce a really revolting pink color), and it was served with
spaghetti instead of rice. Sometimes spaghetti AND mashed potatoes.
