Japanese Curry with Homemade Curry Roux Recipe

  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 10 ounces ground chicken
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons curry powder
  • 2 pounds pumpkin, seeded and diced
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons chicken broth powder
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste (optional)
  1. Heat oil in a large nonstick pot over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add ground chicken; cook and stir until browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir flour and curry powder into the pot, mixing until well-blended with the chicken. Add pumpkin, onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and carrot. Stir in water, chicken broth powder, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce; mix until curry is well-combined.
  3. Cover pot. Reduce heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until curry is thick and stew-like, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
