About this dish

Like Japanese home curry, this one gets its body from a block of curry roux, with chicken thighs as the meat and enough in one pot for four plates.

Only the potato is cut a little larger than the other vegetables, so it still has its shape after simmering.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Cut 420 g chicken thigh into 3 to 4 cm pieces.

    Dice 250 g potato, 140 g carrot, and 220 g onion to a similar size, keeping the potato pieces slightly larger than the other vegetables.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp cooking oil in a pot over medium heat and add the chicken.

    Turn the pieces as they cook, stopping when the surfaces are white with light browning.

  3. 3

    Add the onion, carrot, and potato and cook for 3 minutes.

    Turn the chicken and vegetables together with a spatula so they do not stick to the bottom of the pot.

  4. 4

    Pour in 850ml water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

    Skim any foam, then reduce to medium-low and simmer with the lid slightly ajar for 12 minutes until vegetables are tender.

  5. 5

    Turn off the heat and add 120 g curry roux.

    Press the blocks with a spatula and stir them into the liquid until no lumps remain at the bottom of the pot.

  6. 6

    Add 1 tbsp butter and cook over low heat for 5 minutes while stirring.

    Divide 4 cups cooked rice among four plates and spoon the finished curry beside or over each portion.

Tips

Cool leftovers promptly and refrigerate them instead of leaving the curry at room temperature.
Add the curry roux off the heat so it dissolves without settling and scorching.
