Prepare all the ingredients for the curry base.
2
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low to medium-low heat.
3
Add the sifted all-purpose flour to the melted butter in the saucepan. Stir the mixture with a wooden spatula until the butter and flour are thoroughly combined.

Slowly cook this mixture over low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning. The roux should turn a golden brown color.

Next, add the curry powder, garam masala, and cayenne pepper to the roux. Stir for 30 seconds then remove the saucepan from the heat.

The Japanese Curry Base is now ready. It can be used immediately for cooking or stored in a glass, air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to a month or in the freezer for 3-4 months.
7
To use in other recipes, simply add a desired amount of the curry base to the broth of your chosen dish, stir well and adjust seasoning to taste. Remember to add your desired amount of salt as this homemade roux does not contain salt.
