Japanese curry

Japanese curries are sweeter and milder than Indian ones. Traditionally, they are made with a roux of flour, butter and a unique concoction of spices. This version skips the roux, but gives a very similar result. I’ve included instructions for making your own curry powder below, but if you can find Japanese ‘oriental’ curry powder, feel free to use that instead. Failing that, just use garam masala and a generous pinch of ground turmeric (most Indian curry powders will be too bold and spicy)
