Japanese Curry

I didn't feel like cooking, had some defrosted chicken, onions, potatoes and carrots... mixed it all up with a box of Japanese curry and tah dah!! We have dinner! I bought the kind of curry that comes in blocks... just cooked the meat and veggies, added water to cook the potatoes and carrots then I added the blocks of curry when the veggies were soft and thickens up the sauce right away. Easiest dinner ever! I made a whole pot of it and leftovers were lunch the next day. This is comfort food for me. =D

Curry (カレー, karē?) is one of the most popular dishes in Japan. It is commonly served in three main forms: curry rice, karē udon (thick noodles) and karē-pan (bread). It is usually thicker, sweeter and milder than its Indian equivalent.

Curry was introduced to Japan during the Meiji era (1869-1913), at a time when India was under the administration of the British. The dish became popular and available for purchase in supermarkets and restaurants in the late nineteen sixties.
