Ingredients
- 3 Potatoes
- 2 Carrots
- 1 large Onion
- 4 blocks Japanese curry roux
- 3 cups Water
- 4 cups Cooked rice
- 1/2 cup Green peas
Steps
- Cut the vegetables into large, even chunks — small pieces disintegrate during the simmer.
- Brown the onion in oil 8 minutes until sweet and golden; this step deepens the whole curry.
- Add the potatoes and carrots with the water; simmer 15 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
- Take the pot off the heat and dissolve the roux blocks one at a time, stirring until completely smooth — adding roux to boiling liquid makes lumps.
- Return to a gentle simmer 5 minutes, stirring, until thick and glossy. Fold in the peas at the end.
- Serve ladled over rice. Use a dairy-free roux to keep it fully vegan.
