【The secret ingredient enhances the deliciousness】How to make adult dry curry with miso

It is said that the origin of Japanese curry was that the British, who once ruled India in the 18th century, brought the curry back to their own country and add an arrangement. Then British introduced it to Japan as a European curry and arranged it further by the Japanese people.
Curry was introduced from Japan to Britain in the 19th century (early Meiji Restoration), and since the culture of European and American was actively introduced at the time, such food culture quickly spread.

A book called “Western Cuisine Instruction” published in 1872 contains detailed cooking methods for curry, and it seems that curry spread throughout Japan thanks for this book.
However, the book says, “Add green onions and frogs and simmer,” and you can feel a big difference from the current Japanese curry.
（F…Frog !? Even curry enthusiasts can not eat it lol）

After that, the production of roux of curry began, and onions, potatoes, carrots, etc. were used as curry ingredients, and the so-called Japanese curry was completed.
As you can see, Japanese curry tastes completely different than Indian curry or British curry.

On the other hand, even among curries, the curry made from minced meat called “Keema curry”, which was also appeared in this recipe, came to be offered in Japan a little later.
The beginning is said to be the Indian restaurant “Ajanta” in Asagaya, Tokyo, which was founded in 1957. (Currently relocated to Kojimachi.)

It seems that chicken, goat, and mutton were used for Indian keema curry for religious reasons, but in Japan, chicken was used because easily available.
The number of shops offering keema curry gradually increased, and after many arrangements, many shops now use beef and pork.

By the way, in Japan, the difference between “keema curry” and “dry curry” is often discussed, but “dry curry (so-called curry pilaf)” is a general term for “curry with a low water content” , minced meat is not always included.

Curry has such a deep history, but based on these, should this recipe be called “dry keema curry”…??
I made the recipes with the ingredients that I often use, but there is no rule that you need these ingredients.
