Ingredients
  

Curry

  • 400 g onion sliced into 1cm / ⅜” wide pieces
  • 250 g potato cut into 1.5cm / ⅝” cubes
  • 100 g carrot sliced to 7mm / ¼” thick pieces
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 115 g House Vermont Curry ½ packet

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Add oil to a pot and heat over medium high heat.
  • Add onion and sauté for a few minutes or until the onion becomes translucent and edges start getting slightly burnt.
  • Add potatoes and carrots into the pot and stir for a couple of minutes or until the surface of the vegetables starts getting cooked.
  • Add water and turn the heat up to bring it to a boil. Then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for about 7 minutes or until the vegetables are nearly cooked through.
  • Break the curry roux cake into small blocks along the lines and add them into the pot. Stir gently to blend the curry roux.
  • Reduce the heat to low, place a lid on and cook for about 10 minutes or until the curry roux is completely dissolved. Stir occasionally as the curry tends to stick to the bottom of the pot.
  • Check the consistency of the sauce. It should be like béchamel sauce. If it's too thick, adjust with some water. If too thin, cook further without the lid.
  • Turn the heat off.
  • Place a cup of hot cooked rice onto one side of a plate. Place the chicken cutlet pieces next to the rice, leaning them on the rice so that there will be a space to pour the curry.
  • Pour curry next to the chicken cutlet, put fukujinzuke on the side and serve immediately.

Notes

You may pre-make the curry and serve it later. The curry can be kept for a few days in the fridge, 1 month in the freezer. Adjust the consistency with water if needed upon reheating.
