>>48048912I love subbing the honey for a bit of grated apple, especially since you get to snack on the apple you don't use. Another thing I like to add is before adding the liquid I dig a little well in the middle of the pot and squeeze in some tomato paste to briefly fry. Japanese curry is meant to be something you slap together on a tuesday night after a full day of work, not a fussy specially prepared cuisine with a strictly rigid recipe.
