Cooking tips 💡
- Sautéing the onions over very low heat for a long time to remove moisture and caramelize them is key to deep umami.
- Using solid curry instead of regular curry powder brings out the characteristic rich flavor and dry viscosity.
- The peanut butter and cinnamon powder added at the end are the kick that makes the flavor smooth and exotic.
