In India, where we eat the actual curry most of the time, we don't add flour to thicken the curry. It's just plain water infused with spices and vegetables. It's like a ramen broth to us. It's only in restaurants where they add flour to thicken the curry, mostly in Japanese curry.

[@honeybeemoo]

Exactly what I wanted to say. The soup is typically thickened by boiling it for a long time. Some curry broths, like chicken or mutton, thicken naturally after cooling down, especially in winter

[@ajinkyakhanzode890]

Yep, I wanted to comment this too! Indian Curries are intense, especially the south Indian ones

[@A_TP]

Exactly, when he said it wasn't like curry but also not soup, I was just thinking that to me this is the most curry-like thing I've seen in Japan (according to my standard of curry) That being said I've tried Japanese curry and it was good but it honestly reminds me of a stew my mum would make.

[@ShashankShekhar-uq6zm]

Indian curry is thickened using onions, tomatoes, and spices. Sometimes dry fruits are also used.

[@abriishpotato4729]

my first thought lol, that's what all curry looks like in South Asia

[@claudiau2620]

Honestly that’s such a cool idea, the curry safe haven sounds bomb

[@MarkDeSade100]

But he just proved that men can eat there too, so what exactly makes it a "safe haven" for women?

[@claudiau2620]

@@MarkDeSade100 I’m assuming they keep an extra eye out for suspicious-seeming characters and clearly gear their marketing towards women, they won’t exclude chill men but they probably won’t be kindly towards unkind ones to make a quick buck. That’s my guess anyway based on the video.

[@joe.5103]

The fact that Japan needs restaurants to be safe havens for women is incredibly telling and sad. I really want to visit Japan but they need to turn down their rapey vibe.

​@@MarkDeSade100well, a safe haven for women doesn't necessarily mean no men. It really means not tolerating any of the usual bull that gets ignored or laughed off.

[@melodramatic7904]

I see you don't know italians or Japanese. I live in Italy and Italians are plenty experimental with their food, but in a way that doesn't bastardize it. I also have had lunch with a Japanese friend at a "Japanese" restaurant outside of Japan where she looked at a sushi roll with friend shrimp, cream cheese, and a strawberry on top and said "It makes me kind of sad that people will come here and think this is authentic Japanese food." with a hint of sadness in her voice. The only real difference is you don't have a bunch of people online uploading recipes for that sushi abomination and claimin it's authentic Japanese food, whereas you have a TON of people online claiming to upload "authentic" Italian recipes when they are anything but. Sorry this got a little long.

[@icethepolarbear]

I don’t think anyone from the mentioned countries has problems with experimentation as long it’s not labelled “authentic/traditional/original” when it’s not. And curry was not created in Japan so this isn’t really food experimentation, if anything this recipe is closer to “authentic curry” than thickened Japanese curry.

The reason behind this is that gender stereotypes is strong in Japan. Women are not welcome to solo dine at "manly restaurant" such as ramen restaurant etc. Men would get stares at dessert places too but generally their society is more aggressive towards women, which is sad.

Wait are curry places known to be hateful to solo women? Is this like a social shaming thing? Is this like a harassment or assault thing?

Like I’m just confused as I see women dining alone in Tokyo.

I’ve never actually heard of thickening curry with flower… typically the curry I make gets thick due to the spices, potatoes, and sometimes chick peas.

I haven’t had much Japanese curry, only at restaurants sometimes (I’ve enjoyed it when I’ve had it though, even if it’s very different from Indian curry)

[@shersher95]

I'm not sure it would even count as curry but... I didn't use flour either. I refer to it as curry because the majority of the flavor stems from curry paste and curry powder and I know that's probably inaccurate but ffs it's a self invented dish for a broke college student to store in the deep freezer to live off for weeks. So anyhow, curypaste added large amounts of kokonut milk (like the one they sell in those bean containers) and cooked sweet potato in that instead of water. Added the white flowery not-brokkoli, and the yellow thing that makes popcorn (forgive me, I can't be bothered to look up english right now, not my native language) and maybe some carrots, don't remember. Seasoned with curry pulver and some broth cubes and salt or smth. The sweet potatoes half mushed in the freezer and it was very filling and ez and fit with anything basically so 1000/10 recommend if you're the type of person like me who always forgets they have to plan meals ahead and has trouble with making good veggies. This is perfect for just... frie smth or not and eat rice with it.
