Japanese curry is very different from Indian curries. It’s thicker and has a milder flavor than its Indian counterpart. Curry is a popular dinner choice in Japan. You could use any kind of meat you like, but beef may be the most popular one for Japanese curry. From www.japanesecooking101.com.

  • 3
    In the same pot, fry onions for 8 minutes.
  • 4
    Add carrots and potatoes, then cooked meat.
