That looks like my toilet bowl after I drink way too much and right before I pass out, I panic-eat to try to mitigate the inevitable horrible hangover. But then I immediately sleep, it never digests, and I just rowf up chunky water immediately upon waking.

I had the opportunity when I was at H Mart but didn't take the plunge and actually try to make curry from curry cubes. I imagine the taste to be inferior to actually making curry yourself. I imagine I'm probably right.

alright, you fuckin chefs, you wanna talk about curry? FIRST OFF OP your shit came out runny as fuck bro cmon where is the goop to that curry? What are you fucking eating, soup?

Get some fuck baking soda bro, jesus christ and PLEASE just buy some fuckin curry powder.

>but th th the box tastes better hurrrrr

FUCK THAT

FYI golden curry is NOT curry bro, its european gravy but with asia flair.

Japanese curry is not an original cuisine from Japan. It was introduced to Japan during the Meiji era (1868–1912) by the British. During that era, India was under the British colonial rule, and the Britons had widely accepted curry. Curry had been popularized in Japan through improvisation hence a new flavor utterly different from any curries from the South-Asian countries was developed.

Japanese curry has become a staple meal of the Japanese and is enjoyed by people of all ages, but is not inherently nipponcore.

And where the fuck is your roux?
Do you even know what a roux is bro?
OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING OHM FUCKIN SHANTI IS GONNA FUICKIN BLOW HER TOP AND COMEOUT OF THE FUCKIN ADJACENT DIMENSION TO KICK YOUR FUCKIN NEET ASS

Heat 60g of butter over low heat in a pan.
Add the equal amount of wheat flour and stir constantly. Let the butter combine with the flour, and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes until it turns to medium brown, which is the characteristic color of Japanese curry. Keep stirring so that the roux will not stick to the pan. Keep the heat low so that the butter will not turn into smoke and get burn.
Add some chili powder if you want a spicier curry.

There's about 50-60 scotch bonnets in that curry. Show me another commercial version that's spicier, and I'm 38, so maybe we can both drop the retarded, I'm older than you, bullshit?

I'm not going to deny that most indian dishes in america are relatively bland. But thinking that represents all of them is absolute horseshit. I spent 6 months in India in 2008 and NOTHING came as close to being as spicy as a fucking family run gas station in louisiana.

I guess they weren't really authentically "Thai" because only the owner his wife and mother were ty the rest were from Cambodia and Laos. Those ladies made wonderful rice and noodle dishes.

Actually not true, anon's curry is a westernized one but Saag is a thing. I tend to make Saag Aloo as a side which is spinach and potato.
I honestly hated the thought of vegetable curry for a long time but that was because I'd only tried stuff other people had made that were a bit like OP.

Do you guys season the rice?
Or do you eat it straight out of the pot without using salt?

[Anonymous No.15570153]

>>15570137
Not for curry. I have plain fluffy rice on one side and curry on the other and scoop them up onto a spoon for a savory and fluffy bite. You don't want soggy rice. That's just rice and gravy at that point.

[Anonymous No.15570237]

>>15570153
But do you not even use salt when you cook the rice?

The other day i made some curry from scratch (mixing the spices, not by using curry powder/bars) and it ended up being great, but the rice felt bland in comparison.
I used koshihikari, cleaned it until water came out mostly clear, then to a pot on high until boil, turned off the fire, put the lid and wait 12 minutes.

Not sure the cooking was the problem.
So i try adding a mix of vinager, sugar and a pinch of salt, and that improved the flavor.

But am i supposed to enjoy the japanese curry using bland rice? Because mixing it with the curry did not improve the flavor, it was like a mix of great flavor with the rice pieces having none.

Do you clean your rice properly? I haven't had an issue with bland rice, but I make my curry strong, and apparently runny. My rice still has some moisture though. I do salt my rice when making other things like gumbo, but I keep it plain for curry.

What the fuck even is curry? Is it just a catch-all word that refers to any hindoo sloppa? I've read the wiki but I still don't understand it. Seems like you can use any meat or no meat and any sauce and you can call it curry as long as it stinks bad enough.

Are you American? Just wondering. I get the sense that curries aren't that popular in America.

I'm British and we have quite a curry culture here, since we have lots of immigrants from South Asia who brought that sort of cuisine with them. And hence we have lots of Indian restaurants.

I'm 26 and live in new york city and I've never eaten curry nor do I plan to. I have only seen it a handful of times in my life but I have smelled it 10,000 times -- an indian restaurant is a surefire way to stink up an entire city block. The smell of indians and their food makes me want to vomit worse than any other smell I can think of. To be honest, I think less of brits for the fact that they can even stomach this shit.

I'd liken the difference between indian and jap curry to that between a stew or ragout made with roux versus one that only uses a thickening agent at most, like say corn starch. The former just has more body, which is what I prefer in any stew/ragout/curry preparation.
