This dish is somewhat controversial. The Japanese patented their own curry. The Indians say that you can’t call it a curry. The Japanese didn’t care and today, Japanese has become one of the easiest curries to cook.

I’m making a vegetarian dish here with Japanese curry. Turned out OK. First, with Japanese curry, you would need carrots and potatoes. Here they are, all chopped up. I fried some onions and added them to the pot.

Know what this is? It’s vegetarian “pork” or “chicken”. I’ve just microwaved them from their frozen state.

Next, you would add water to the vegetables and bring them to a boil. Put in the curry cubes. Stir and allow the mixture to thicken. If it doesn’t thicken, that means you’ve got too little curry cubes. Add more. It comes in tablet form like a bar of chocolate, so you can break and add till you get a nice, thick gravy. Turn the heat really low so you won’t burn the gravy.

Once the carrots and potatoes are soft, add in the vegetarian pork/chicken and your dish is ready to serve. It goes very well with white rice. The kids will love this dish as it’s so sweet and flavourful.
