Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chicken thigh cut into cubes
  • 1 large onion sliced thin
  • 2 carrots chopped
  • 2 potatoes cubed
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 3 cups water or chicken broth
  • 1 pack Japanese curry roux medium or mild spice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • Salt to taste
  • Cooked steamed rice for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients

  • Wash and cut all vegetables and chicken into small even pieces. This helps everything cook evenly. Keep them ready near your stove for smooth cooking without rushing.

Sauté Onions for Flavor

  • Heat oil in a large pot. Add sliced onions and cook until golden brown. Stir slowly to bring out sweetness, which gives depth to the curry base.

Cook Chicken Pieces

  • Add chicken cubes into the pot. Stir and cook until lightly browned on all sides. This step locks in flavor and keeps the meat juicy inside.

Add Vegetables

  • Now add carrots, potatoes, garlic and ginger. Mix everything well with the chicken and onions. Cook for a few minutes so vegetables start absorbing flavor.

Pour Water and Simmer

  • Add water or chicken broth slowly. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat. Let it simmer until vegetables become soft and tender.

Add Curry Roux

  • Break curry roux into pieces and add to the pot. Stir continuously until it fully dissolves. The sauce will start thickening and turning rich brown.

Final Cooking Stage

  • Let the curry cook on low heat for ten more minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking. The sauce should become smooth, thick and glossy.

Notes

  • Always brown onions well for deep flavor
  • Use chicken broth instead of water for richer taste
  • Do not rush simmering time
  • Stir curry roux slowly to avoid lumps
  • Adjust spice level based on preference
