How to Make Gluten Free Japanese Curry

  1. **Make the Roux:** In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in gluten-free flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
  2. **Bloom Spices:** Reduce heat to low. Stir in curry powder and cumin, cooking for 1 minute more to release their aromas.
  3. **Create the Curry Base:** Gradually whisk in the broth, a little at a time, ensuring a smooth, lump-free roux. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. **Season and Enhance:** Stir in salt, pepper, heavy cream, ketchup, and sugar. Simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reached your desired thickness.
  5. **Prepare the Vegetables and Beef:** While the roux simmers, cut the beef, potatoes, carrots, and onions into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger.
  6. **Sauté the Beef and Vegetables:** In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  7. **Simmer the Curry:** Add the potatoes, carrots, and 2 cups of water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  8. **Combine and Finish:** Add the prepared curry roux to the pot and stir well to combine. Add more water if needed to reach your desired consistency (it should be gravy-like).
  9. **Serve:** Serve hot over cooked rice. Garnish with chopped scallions or cilantro (optional). Enjoy!
