This is my first Naegiri fanfic... please enjoy... =)
It was a good morning as the lavender locks reading something on the book, a cookbook to be precise. She remember that her brunette friend, how loves curry. He even making it last night. Who knew that her friend can be a good cook. Maybe she should gave it a try.
The lavender locks went to the refrigerator for some chicken as she gathered the other dry ingredients. Then, she began peeling the potatoes and carrots in the sink. After that, she diced them all into small pieces, including the onions. Lastly, she washed the chicken and chopped them into small pieces. Since she making a small portion for two people, it will be fine.
The lavender locks still mesmerized the curry recipe in the cookbook while she had finished her mise-en-plus. She decided to taking a one step back on the counter as she's taking a deep breath. Hopefully her curry not gone badly or burned.
She's following the instructure carefully by stir the onions first. Then, added the ginger and garlic. The scene of the onions kinder making she a bit sneezing. Achoo!
Then, she added the chicken and cook until the chicken changes color. Then, she added the carrot into the mix. Since she don't have a chicken broth or don't have time to making one, she used a water instead. Bring the stock to boil and skim the scrum and fat from the surface of the stock, which the instructure said. Now she only had to do is waiting the stock to boil about an hour and a half, which the book said.
While she waiting the shock, she making a curry roux. It will be easier if she used curry sauce mix. She remember that he's usually bought the curry roux on the store. It's also with a few brand and usually comes with 3 levels of spiciness – mild, medium or hot.
The lavender locks choose the mild and began making the curry sauce right after she added the potatoes into the stock. Then, she's stir the sauce very well, being careful not to burn the paste. After she done with the sauce, she added it into the stock.
It's looks like it's going very well, as she thought. Then, she added soy sauce and ketchup. Simmer uncovered on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the curry becomes thick, which the recipe said. Then, finally the taste tester.
The lavender locks taking a small sniff of the curry before taking a small taste. The aroma of curry still flying around the kitchen. It's seem alright. The taste also just fine. Not too strong nor too light, just right in the middle.
Be generous with your spices. They not only bring flavour but also texture to the curry. But remember not to overpower the curry with too many spices, which the book said.
there will be more story line later...
