This Japanese vegetable curry is such a wholesome homely cooked dish that will have everyone coming back for seconds.
You have to admit there is nothing better than making something from scratch. Not only are you proud of what you have done (well most of the time), it just tastes better too. Most people (and I include myself in here as well) have just used Japanese curry cubes from the supermarket, but trust me, once you have tried this recipe you will never use the packet stuff again.
For this Japanese vegetable curry, I’m using what I call are “cheats roux” here but believe me it doesn’t take away from the taste. Yes yes, I hear you saying that you usually have chicken in this dish and yes you’re right! I have a vego in the family and it still is just as amazing with out it. But if you want to add the chicken put it in your pot once the onions are gold along with the ginger and garlic.
The smells in your house are going to be unbelievable. Kanpai & happy cooking
