Just follow the instructions scrupulously for your first time, there is no way you can go wrong (remove from heat once you put cubes in).

Yes? "curry" isn't a dish like inbred britcucks think, it's a vague type of spice mix that can be used in an infinite number of ways. Britcucks use curry to make scotch eggs but they'd never call it "a curry". This spice mix can be used well by some cuisines and not so well in others. It's not anyone else's fault that you retarded pink skinned faggots conflate a spice mix with a dish.

don't forget the economy of scale that can be drawn from when selling curry roux in japan, where it is pretty much a staple, vs selling it in the us or eu, where it's more of a novelty food. even if the ingredients and factory were local to the eu and us, and the ingredients were cheaper than in japan, which they very well could be, there would still be a good chance that the finished roux would be more expensive than in japan.
