Point in check
After stir frying the onions for about 10 minutes, it turned dark yellow so I stopped stir frying. When adding the onions and tomato with water, I turned the heater to a high level to make it sure it boils. After it boiled, I turned the heat level to medium and continued. Stir the vegetables for a while, and take them out before it turns brown.
Put the 4 spices in first, and later put in the Garam masala. It is also possible to put in the Garam masala, after some time. Stir fry the Mackerel Cans until there is almost no water, and then put it into the curry pan. At the adjustment stage, put in more spice or salt and pepper or Ajinomoto to make the taste stronger.
Personal Comments
It ended up with a taste slightly different from an ordinary tomato-based curry with spice. I added some more spice after adjusting the taste. I boiled up the pan and turned the level to medium, once it was boiled up. This time I chose spices instead of the all-in-one curry powder. The taste of the curry had a different taste from the Mackerel Can was very different in the curry. I have to study how to change the taste, depending on the ingredients. This is quite different from curries using beef or pork; therefore, I must be careful not to stir fry the Mackerel Can too long. I put the Mackerel Can last, to make sure the shapes still remain. It was a good choice not to put the cans at an early stage.
