Instructions
Brown the Chicken and Onions
Heat a little oil in a large pot over medium heat and cook the diced onion for 3 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the chicken chunks and cook for another 4 minutes until lightly browned on the outside.
Add Vegetables and Water
Add the cubed potatoes and carrot rounds to the pot then pour in 2.5 cups of water. Bring everything to a boil then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
Add the Curry Roux
Remove the pot from the heat momentarily and break the curry roux blocks into the liquid. Stir vigorously until every piece of roux has completely dissolved into the liquid creating a thick rich dark curry sauce.
Simmer and Serve
Return the pot to low heat and simmer the curry for 5 more minutes stirring gently until it reaches your desired thickness. Ladle the curry generously over mounds of steamed Japanese rice in each bowl and serve hot.
