🙋 Recommended for

  • College students or home cooks who find it bothersome to stand over a stove and stir curry constantly.
  • Anyone who wants to enjoy the heavy, deep flavor of a specialty curry shop with a simple combination of ingredients.
  • Those looking for a unique Western-style curry with subtle notes of butter and coffee.

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 150g beef for curry
  • 1 pat butter (about 15g)
  • curry powder (or curry roux) for 2-3 servings
  • 1 shot espresso (about 30ml)
  • 2 cups water
  • ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 eggs (for scrambled eggs)
  • 2 bowls of cooked rice

Recipe 🍳

  1. Line the bottom of the rice cooker inner pot with the thinly sliced onion and the beef cut into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Add a pat of butter, curry powder, one shot of espresso, and the measured water on top in order.
  3. Sprinkle with black pepper to remove any odors, stir lightly to combine, then press the regular white rice cooking button.
  4. While the rice cooker curry is cooking, scramble the eggs in a pan until moist and fluffy.
  5. Place rice on a plate, top with the scrambled eggs, and generously ladle the finished thick rice cooker curry alongside.
  1. Put all ingredients (sliced onion, beef, butter, curry powder, espresso, water, black pepper) into the rice cooker.
  2. Press the regular white rice cooking function to pressure-cook until tender.
  3. Serve the rich curry with rice and scrambled eggs on a plate.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Adding espresso or strong black coffee to the curry gives it a bitter depth, mimicking the flavor of a long-simmered homemade curry.
  • Cooking under pressure in a rice cooker makes the onions melt into a jam-like sweetness, maximizing natural sweetness and boosting the curry's quality.
  • Besides white rice, diet-friendly brown rice also pairs well because the curry sauce's rich flavor complements it.
