Cooking tips
- Potatoes can make the broth murky and alter the taste over time, so it's best to omit them when making a large batch of curry to be stored for a long time.
- Pork hind leg can be tough due to its lean meat content. Cut it into large pieces and simmer for at least 25 minutes to achieve a tender, soup-like texture.
- The key to a deep, savory flavor is to stir-fry the meat and onions until they are almost burnt, achieving a deep brown (caramelized) color.
- Ketchup adds acidity from tomatoes and umami, recreating the rich flavor of high-quality Japanese-style curry.
Recommended for
- Those who want to make a deeply flavored curry comparable to professional restaurants using inexpensive pork hind leg.
- Those who want a curry that remains delicious for several days without becoming murky.
- Those who enjoy curry with plenty of meat, offering a satisfying chew and juicy texture.
