Katsu curry
Sweat onion in butter until deep gold, 12 minutes. Add carrot and potato, then flour and garam masala. Stir 1 minute. Add water and soy. Simmer until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is thick, 15 minutes. A roux block goes in instead of the flour and spice if that is what you bought.
