Recipe 🍳

  1. Season 600g of chicken thigh with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt plenty of butter (about 20g) in a pan (or pot) and sear the chicken thigh until golden brown on both sides. Cook while flipping to achieve a golden-brown color on both sides.
  3. Add another 20g of butter to the pan (or pot) where the chicken thigh was cooked. Add the pre-prepared onion, potato, and carrot, and stir-fry for 1 hour until the onion turns brown and disintegrates. It is important to maintain low heat and stir-fry until the onion turns brown and its moisture evaporates without burning.
  4. Transfer the stir-fried vegetables to a blender and blend until smooth.
  5. Pour the blended vegetables back into the pan. Add 2 cups of water (based on paper cup, 360ml) to the blender, rinse out any remaining blended vegetables, and add them to the pan.
  6. Maintaining low heat, once the curry boils, add 12 servings of Japanese curry (solid type) and dissolve it thoroughly with a spoon to prevent lumps.
  7. Add 2 cups of commercial coconut milk (or coconut milk) (based on paper cup, 360ml) and mix well. If coconut milk is unavailable, you can use 2 cups of regular white milk.
  8. Add 2 large tablespoons of commercial tomato spaghetti sauce and mix well. If tomato spaghetti sauce is not available, ketchup can be used as a substitute.
