Soak bread in milk and squeeze out dry. Fry onions in butter a golden brown. Mix curry powder, jam, 1 tsp. salt with fried onions. Mix with meat, the soaked bread and the beaten egg; and the onion mixture and about 1/2 c. milk. Put into a loaf pan and cook about one hour. Two or three times (last 1/2 hour) during the baking, baste with a beaten egg and milk and dot the top with butter. Just at the end sprinkle with coconut and let it toast a little bit. Serve with rice and chutney.
