Introduction
A super healthy Japanese-style keema curry made entirely in the microwave, using the umami of onions and bonito flakes instead of meat. It is oil-free yet rich in dashi flavor and spices, making it a satisfying meal served over rice.
Step 1
Finely chop the onion (60g) using a vegetable chopper or a knife.
Step 2
Transfer the chopped onion to a heat-resistant container and add 1 pack of bonito flakes as a meat substitute, mixing everything together.
Step 3
Add 1 1/3 tsp of curry powder, 1 tsp of ketchup, 1 tbsp of water, 1/3 tsp of chicken bouillon powder, and 4 shakes of garlic powder, then mix until evenly combined.
Step 4
Cover the container with a lid (or plastic wrap) and heat in a microwave (500W) for a total of 2 minutes.
Step 5
Remove from the microwave and mix well. Taste and adjust by adding more chicken bouillon powder (to reach a total of 2/3 tsp) and 1 pinch of salt if desired.

Important Notes
💡 If you prefer a milder taste, use a non-spicy curry powder (such as S&B's mild curry powder).
👥 Using bonito flakes and chicken bouillon as a meat substitute provides deep umami and salinity, ensuring a flavorful dish even in small portions.
🍳 Heating the onion thoroughly in the microwave removes its raw pungency, and when combined with the ketchup, it creates a nice, thickened texture.
