Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced carrot, potato, and red bell pepper to the pot. Stir and cook for a few minutes.
  4. Pour in the seafood or fish stock and water. Add the diced tomatoes, bay leaf, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let it cook until the vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. While the curry base is simmering, prepare the curry roux. In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, for a few minutes until the mixture turns a light golden color.
  6. Add the curry powder, garam masala, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper to the roux. Cook, stirring, for another minute to toast the spices.
  7. Gradually ladle some of the hot curry base into the roux, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Once the roux has become a smooth paste, pour it back into the main pot with the curry base. Stir to combine.
  8. Let the curry simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Add the mixed seafood to the pot and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the seafood is fully cooked and opaque.
  10. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  11. Serve the Japanese seafood curry over steamed rice and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley. You can also add Japanese pickles on the side for extra flavor.

 

Enjoy!
