I always want try make Japanese curry rice after eat it one of Japanese restaurant here. so i start searching for the recipe and found more of Karē raisu recipe are using instant curry roux. I have not found any Japanese mart in my place and of course haven't found instant curry roux too. I was continuing my blog-walking and found recipe how to make curry roux at home, it simple only need 4 ingredients but lucky me, one from that 4 ingredients ( garam masala ) i cant found in my place too. Garam masala is one of indian spice which sold at indian store and i havent found indian store at my place too. Continue surfing and found recipe how to make garam masala then make curry rice from scratch here.. I just add some tori katsu for additional topping.
