Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1Brown the minced meat
    A close-up of fresh minced meat being added to a pan with hot oil.

    Add a dollop of minced meat into a hot pan with oil and stir-fry until the meat is thoroughly browned and fragrant.

    Tip: Ensure the pan is hot before adding the meat to get a good sear.
  2. 2Sauté the aromatics
    Chopped red onion and minced garlic being stir-fried with browned meat in a pan.

    Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic to the pan with the browned meat. Stir-fry the mixture until the onions are softened and the garlic is fragrant.

    Tip: Keep stirring so the garlic does not burn.
  3. 3Season the mixture
    Seasoning ingredients being added to the pan with minced meat and onion.

    Add a spoonful of chili powder, a splash of light soy sauce, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of salt to the pan. Stir everything well to combine the spices and seasonings with the meat.

    Tip: Adjust the amount of chili powder based on your spice preference.
  4. 4Add milk
    Milk being poured into the pan over the cooked seasoned meat.

    Pour 100ml of pure milk into the pan with the seasoned meat mixture, which will create the creamy base for the curry.

    Tip: Pour the milk slowly to ensure it integrates well with the meat.
  5. 5Incorporate curry roux
    A block of curry roux being added to the pan and melting into the mixture.

    Add a block of curry roux to the pan. Stir the mixture constantly until the curry roux has completely melted and blended into the sauce.

    Tip: Using a spatula helps break up the roux block faster.
  6. 6Thicken the curry
    The finished thick, creamy curry sauce in the pan being stirred.

    Continue to stir the mixture until the curry sauce reaches your desired thickness and consistency.

    Tip: Stirring prevents the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
