A recipe from grandma Hélène of Port-Louis. This lobster à la Lorientaise was prepared by the grandmother of one of our visitors who had the kindness and excellent idea of sending it to us. Since it was noted in snippets in her recipe notebook (over 50 years ago), I've reworked it a bit so that all of you can revive this lovely recipe

Ingredients for 4 servings
servings
Lobster with curry for 4 people:
1 beautiful live lobster approximately 2.6 lb (1.2 kg)
2 carrots
2 onions
2 tablespoons flour
3 glasses dry white wine
2 tablespoons tomato concentrate
1 bay leaf, thyme and flat parsley
2 teaspoons curry
0.4 cup (10 cl) cognac
a knob of butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
Step-by-step directions
1 Hold the lobster firmly, first cut off the claws at the shell level then give a firm blow to crack them using the flat of the knife. Then cut the tail into 6 sections at the ring level and finally split the body in 2 lengthwise and remove the sand sack located at the head.
2 Brown the lobster pieces in oil and butter, when they are well roasted on both sides, flame them with cognac (0.4 cup (10cl)), then set them aside.
3 Prepare the "sauce": In a large pot brown in oil 2 carrots and 2 onions cut into slices then when they are colored add 2 tablespoons flour let cook a bit then dilute with 3 glasses dry white wine, then add 2 tablespoons tomato concentrate salt pepper thyme bay leaf parsley leaves, 2 tablespoons curry and add 2.5 cups (60 cl) water.
4 Let cook 1/2 hour then pass everything through a vegetable mill.
5 Then bring your sauce back to a boil and add the sautéed lobster with its juice for 15 minutes. Before serving adjust the seasoning (salt pepper cognac and curry). Serve for example with good rice. There, now this recipe is in your hands and it's up to you to bring it to life with the wind while keeping a little thought for grandma Hélène of Lorient.
Chef Patrick's Comment
The word "kari" comes from the Tamil language which designates the preparation of spices to season foods. Later the word curry arrived in recipes this Anglicism coming from the English colony in India.
