Dry Curry (ドライカレー)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Dry curry is a café food that is originally from Japan. This is great for lunch, dinner, and bento boxes!

 

dry curry

 

Curry is a beloved food in Japan and there are tons of curry recipes created in Japan. Keema Curry is a popular Indian dish in Japan that uses minced meat, but, there is a ‘dry curry’ that is similar to Keema curry. Dry curry is one of the popular curry varieties that Japanese people love!

 

What is Dry Curry

Dry curry is a well known dish at Kissaten (喫茶店:coffee store) in Japan and believe it or not, dry curry was created in Japan. India, the homeland of curry, doesn’t have dry curry on their menus. Dry curry was created in Japan after being inspired by Indian curry.
Dry curry is curry made without water. Usually curry is soupy, but this variety needs just a little bit of water and is cooked until the water is absorbed.

 

The difference between Dry Curry and Keema Curry

Keema curry and dry curry look very similar, but they are different foods.

Keema curry is used to refer to all curries that use minced meat. Keema curry can be soupy or dry.  On the other hand, any curry with little or no water is a dry curry.

In other words, dry curry that uses minced meat is ‘keema curry’, and keema curry that contains less water or no water is ‘dry curry’ in Japanese. Both curries do not have specified ingredients other than minced meat, but dry curries tend to have fewer ingredients. I know it’s confusing!

 

Ingredients for Dry Curry

There are so many dry curry recipes but my dry curry recipe is a simple one that is easy to make!

You need,

  • Minced meat (your choice of meat)
  • onion
  • garlic
  • carrot
  • curry powder
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Japanese curry roux
  • bouillon

Wanna try something new😌? When people hear Kit Wanna try something new😌?

When people hear Kitsune don, it sounds weird because if you translate Kitsune, it simply means fox. But wait! Kitsune came from the look of the meal. 

There are some theories for why it is called ‘Kitsune’. One is Aburaage, deep-fried tofu pouch, is one of the fox’s favorite foods in folktales. The other is that Aburaage looks similar to a fox.

This meal is quite easy to make and tasty :) If you want to try a new recipe, this is a good one🤩

As a last post, I really want to introduce Chinjao Rosu. One of the king meals that Japanese people love so much! 

Chinjao Rosu is a popular Chinese food as well as Mapo Tofu in Japan. Made from beef(or pork), green pepper and bamboo shoot then stir fried. This is loved by so many generations in Japan, so there are some instant Chinjao Rosu options that you can buy at any grocery store in Japan and make it in just 15-20 minutes! But it is also easy to make all by yourself 🥺🔥
