Made this for my son for dinner last night. He asked what restaurant I ordered it from. When I told him I made it, he said show me the recipe. I used the coffee, soy sauce, chocolate and beef broth. The only thing I changed, was instead of carrots I used water chestnuts. It was delicious! Thank you for making everything so easy to understand.

Love Japanese curry! I’ve done a 14oz can of chicken broth with 14oz can of coconut milk instead of the water with the regular roux recipe. This helps to add a little more depth of flavor.

I haven’t tried with caramelized onions so I’m trying that next but I can’t wait to see how it changes the flavor!

Thanks a ton for the other tips and suggestions. I’ll be referencing this for further curry dinner nights (often!)

Love the site, thanks again.

5 stars!!! First time cooking curry somewhat from scratch (i used to buy ready made sauce with a couple pieces of potato and carrots, no protein), but saw yellow vermont curry cubes at the store and decided that IT’S A SIGN!
Made it with chicken and skipped the caramelised oinions step (sorry), and it turned out so good!!! I also added some mushrooms (threw them in with carrots and potatos) and they were so tender and juicy.
Overall great recipe, i really appreciated the lengthy reviews of stuff/nuance because often when i read some recipes they leave more questions than they give answers. Well, not in this case! So, thank you!

Also here’s my humble lunch. I kind of overdid it with the vegetables and could use more of the sauce itself, but i will keep this in mind for the next time. Served with rice and steamed string beans. Thank you againg!
