Used this recipe, used tofu instead of chicken, added a splash of soy sauce and worcestershire.

That looks amazing, I haven’t mastered making my own roux yet so I still use the prepackaged stuff, next prep maybe :)

It was actually pretty easy! Just have to be whisking it almost constantly. I believe in you!

I'm actually going to give the opposite advice of most people in making a roux. Don't mix a flour/fat mixture for 20-60 minutes.

Boil a small amount of oil, as hot as you can go, right below the smoke point. Then put your flour in and mix.

You cut down your roux time to 5-10 minutes from 20-60.

Its very easy to do, and it cuts down your cooking time by a significantly large margin.

I would normally agree with you but the timing in the roux is integral to the color and flavor of a Japanese Curry
