This Homemade Japanese Curry Is The Ultimate Winter Comfort

Japanese chicken curry is a delicious way to get your vitamin (C)urry

Japanese chicken curry

chicken

onion (about 8 oz sliced)

oz carrots (cut rangiri style (see above) if you want)

potatoes

garlic (crushed)

1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger (grated)

chicken stock (low

curry powder (I use S&B brand)

tsp garam masala

tbsp flour

(plus

tonkotsu sauce

Prep your vegetables. Slice the onion into 1/8 inch slices. Cut the onion in half from the stem to the root. Peel. Cut the stem end off. Now cut slices moving towards the stem end. You are cutting onion half moons.

Cut up the carrots, potatoes and chicken. You want bite size pieces.

Heat a pot large enough to hold all the ingredients over medium low heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter. Let melt and then add the onions and the salt. Cook the onions for about 5 minutes stirring occasionally. You are going for soft and translucent. You don&#x27;t want to let the onions brown.

Add the carrots, garlic and ginger (or 1 tbsp of garlic ginger paste if you stock it) and cook another 2 minutes.

Add the stock. Stir and bring to a simmer. Let cook 10 minutes. Set a timer. Makes things easy.

Add the potatoes. Cook another 15 minutes. Use your timer. Check the potatoes. They should be close to done. Depends on how big the pieces were. If they aren&#x27;t starting to soften cook them until they do.

Add the chicken. Cook 10 minutes.

While the chicken cooks make the curry roux.

Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in a small sauce pan over medium low heat. Add the curry powder and garam masala and cook for about 30-45 seconds. Add the flour and stir to combine. You want all the flour coated with fat. If it&#x27;s really dry add a bit of vegetable oil.

Cook the flour/spice mixture over medium low heat for about 2 minutes. This is your roux.

Now add a couple tablespoons of broth from the simmering curry. Stir to combine. It will make an ungodly looking mess. Goop. Don&#x27;t worry. Add another couple tablespoons of broth and stir. Repeat that a couple more times.

Now add around 1/2 cup of broth and stir to combine. Add another 1/2 cup or so and stir. You sould be getting to the point where you have a really thick but smooth paste. Curry paste. It&#x27;s better than it sounds. It&#x27;s actually a variant of veloute which is a variant on bechamel. There&#x27;s some cooking theory in this recipe...

10-12 minutes have gone by. Check the chicken. It should be done or at least close. Depends on how lively your simmer is though. Use an instant read thermometer. Safety first. You want it read around 155-160F at this point. The thighs are cooked at 170F but you can go a little higher. That&#039;s the nice thing about dark meat. It is forgiving.

Add the curry veloute (fancy way to say the curry paste) to the curry. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer. The chicken should be done. Check it. If it&#x27;s not cook it for another few minutes.

Taste. At this point the flavour profile will be similar to the cubes. Adjust salt. Now add one tablespoon of tonkotsu sauce. Taste again. This will add a hint of sweetness as well as that secret Japanese curry flavour. If you like it stop now. If you want more fruit and sugar add another tablespoon. I like it between one and two tablespoons. If you want big fruit taste add another tablespoon. I&#x27;ve never gone beyond that so I don&#x27;t know if more is better.  Three is too sweet for my taste.

Wonderful! And I found the recipe so easy to follow. I've been experimenting with various curries and this recipe beats them all. I subbed the tonkatsu sauce for chili garlic sauce.
