Yesterday, I made and enjoyed a pot of curry rice.
It contained pork, potatoes, carrots, onions, and curry roux.
This time, I used some boiled potatoes that I had set aside when I made potato salad a few days ago. Thanks to that, the curry was finished much more quickly than usual.
Normally, cooking the potatoes takes the most time. This time, however, all I had to do was simmer the onions and carrots with the curry roux, so the recipe was very simple and surprisingly fast. In fact, it was so quick that I almost wondered whether the roux had mixed in properly.
When the curry was finished, though, I noticed that the flavor seemed milder than usual.
I used Vermont Curry Hot and followed the recommended amount of water. However, because I didn’t have to cook the potatoes in the curry, less water evaporated during cooking. That may have left the curry a little thinner and made the flavor seem weaker than usual.
I didn’t dislike the lighter taste—it was refreshing in its own way—but it still felt a little lacking. I’m thinking about trying different ways to adjust the flavor next time.
At Recommended #HomeCooking, I made and enjoyed curry yesterday, as shown in the photo above.
This curry rice included pork, onions, komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach), carrots, and potatoes.
I eat curry quite often.
When I was deciding what to make yesterday, I wanted to cook something with vegetables and pork. My choices were salt-flavored champon noodles, salt yakisoba, crispy fried noodles, and finally curry. In the end, I gave in to the temptation of curry.
After a certain amount of time, I get a really strong craving for curry. These days, I make it very simply without putting much effort into it, so it’s an easy and relaxing meal to choose.
I looked back at the different curries I’ve made over the years.
