Home-made Japanese Curry Rice

Home-made Japanese Curry
Ingredients
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
4 Tbsp. all purpose flour
1 Tbsp. curry powder
1 Tbsp. garam masala

Instructions
1. Melt the butter over medium low heat.

2  When the butter is completely melted, add the flour.

3. Stir to combine the butter and flour. Soon the butter and flour will mix. Do not stop stirring because the roux will easily burn.

4. After 20-30 minutes, the roux will turn to light brown color. Add the curry powder and garam masala.

5. Cook and stir for 30 seconds and remove from the heat.

Note:
If you don't use it immediately, let it cool in an airtight container with lid and store in refrigerator for a month or freezer for 3-4 months.

Electric Lunch Box Curry Rice

Ingredients:
1/2 packet of boneless chicken thigh. (Skin removed and sliced into chunks. Marinate overnight with a teaspoon of sesame oil, tiny pinch of salt and pepper)
1/4 carrot, peeled and chopped into small chunks
1 potato (Potatoes oxidize very quickly when peeled/cut. So do this only when you are about to cook. If your office pantry doesn’t have knives/peelers then you may substitute this with other vegetables. I reckon broccoli will do fine too!)
2 cubes of Japanese Curry or homemade curry sauce

Instructions:
1. . When you are ready to cook, peel potato and slice into small chunks. The smaller it is, the faster it cooks.
2. Place the potato & carrot chunks into the electric lunch box’s larger metal tin. Pour in some hot water, just enough to cover the vegetables.
3. Fill the electric lunch box heater compartment 1/2 full with hot water. Place the larger metal tin in, cover and let it cook for 15mins.
4. After 15 mins, the vegetables should be almost cooked. Add the marinated chicken chunks and let it cook for another 15 mins. If you are having the curry with rice, you may start cooking the rice in the electric lunch box at this point.
5. After the next 15 mins, stir in the Japanese curry cubes. If the consistency is too thick, add a little hot water and stir. Eat this hot! (=
