🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who prefer a rich, thick, Indian-style dry curry instead of a watery version
  • Home cooks looking to make a creative meal using leftover rice and store-bought spaghetti sauce

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • handful of minced pork
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons yellow curry powder
  • 2 tablespoons tomato spaghetti sauce
  • 1 tablespoon tonkatsu sauce
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 bowls of rice
  • a pinch of parsley powder
  • a little vegetable oil

Recipe 🍳

  1. Dice half an onion into a chunky, bite-sized consistency with depth of texture.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a pan, then add the handful of minced pork, diced onion, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic.
  3. Stir-fry until the onion becomes translucent and the pork develops a deep brown crust all over.
  4. Once the ingredients are evenly cooked, pour in 1 cup of milk to enhance richness—water can be used if milk is unavailable.
  5. Add 2 tablespoons of yellow curry powder, 2 tablespoons of tomato spaghetti sauce, 1 tablespoon of tonkatsu sauce, and 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes for a spicy hue.
  6. Simmer on low heat, stirring continuously to prevent clumping, until the sauce reaches a thick, sticky consistency typical of Indian-style dry curry.
  7. Place warm white rice in a bowl, spoon a generous amount of curry beside it, and sprinkle with a pinch of parsley powder to finish.
  1. Sauté minced pork, diced onion, and minced garlic in a pan until golden and fragrant.
  2. Add 1 cup of milk, then toss in curry powder, tomato spaghetti sauce, tonkatsu sauce, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Simmer on medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Serve over rice and sprinkle with parsley powder.

Cooking tips 💡

  • The tangy acidity from store-bought tomato spaghetti sauce and the rich umami of tonkatsu sauce give this dish restaurant-quality flavor without needing solid curry blocks.
  • Red pepper flakes balance the richness of the curry and milk; you can also add crushed pepper to taste for extra heat.
  • Due to its thick, savory sauce, this curry works wonderfully not just with rice but also as a topping for boiled udon or pasta—perfect for mixing and enjoying as a unique side dish.
