thanks for this awesome recipe! I didn;t realize it was so easy!

A cheese grater works great for the apples; the shreds dissolve in ~20 minutes.

A few shakes of curry powder makes the flavor complete IMO, but it doesn’t need it.

Hi Adrien, substituting oil for butter will effect flavor but it should not effect the texture of the roux. Based on your description I’m guessing one of 2 things happend. The first could be that you didn’t fry the roux long enough. Try frying it a little bit longer. The second possibility is that your roux didn’t incorporate into the liquid before the flour in it cooked so you ended up with little roux dumplings instead of a smooth curry. The avoid this, it’s important to ladle some of the liquid from the meat and veggies into the roux and whisking it together until it’s smooth. Once the roux is smooth and doesn’t have any lumps you can pour it into the pot with the meat and veggies and stir to incorporate.

Hi Mark!
Thanks a lot for this recipe!
I had not butter in my fridge (I try to avoid dairy products).
So I used oil instead (I heard that is what cajuns do to make their roux).
I turned out a blit floury, not like a thick liquid.
I mean you could feel some little crispy grains of flour or curry.
Any advice?
Thanks again!

Gotta add a few tablespoons of worcestershire sauce, a few shots of okonomiyaki sauce, and substitute broth for the water.

i made this tonight & it was soo good! i was going to leave out the apple since i didn’t have any, but then i remember i had a big bottle of no sugar added apple sauce, so i used that instead. beef instead of chicken, Worcestershire, s&b oriental curry powder (japanese curry powder), & no peas (didn’t have any). topped on basamati rice. i will make this again instead of the almost $4 s&b instant curry sauce mix.

Finally, I can make the curry from a scratch! All the other recipes I found used the granules, which are impossible to buy in my country… I love you!

This will comfortably feed 4, it may feed 6 if they have smaller appetites (or there are other dishes).

I’m cooking for six in a few nights and I can’t remember if this recipe did my husband and I for one night or two last time i made it

I too grew up loving a big bowl of hot Japanese-style curry — But now I just can’t abide the fat content of the ready-made roux blocks. Tonight I made some from scratch and it was close but missing something. I searched and found your recipe. The only ingredients I was missing were the ketchup, worcestershire, and apple. I look forward to trying it again! Thank you!

Yep unsweetened apple sauce would be perfect!

What about organic apple sauce with no sugar? Yes matter of fact I do have a cheese greater and I did not think of that thank you!

Do you have a cheese grater? If so just grate it as small as possible. Otherwise you can dice up the apple and throw it in when you sautee the onions.
