Poutine or Curry Chips? [1]

As a British person I’ve eaten curry chips more times than I can remember, but I’d never tried poutine, the Canadian national dish. I didn’t want the meal to take forever to prep or require fancy ingredients such as cheese curds. (Maybe cheese curds are common in Canada but here, not.) So I came up with this quick and easy recipe if you’d like to try it. And it really is very tasty!
Ingredients:
2 tbsp butter, melted
2 tbsp flour
1 cup water
1/3 onion, finely chopped
6 mushrooms, finely chopped
2 tsp chicken or beef stock powder
salt, pepper, to taste
frozen chips (British) or French fries (US)
mozzarella (not pre-shredded. Pre-shredded cheese is coated in starch to stop it clumping.)
Make a roux: Add the flour to the melted butter, blend well, then slowly add warmed water, mixing and heating until you get a smooth gravy-like consistency.
Fry onion until transparent, add mushroom, salt, pepper, cook (thicken), blend (gravy).
Cook chips (golden) place in basket. Grate mozzarella over top. Pour gravy over and serve.
Curry chips
Enormously popular in England. This is just like poutine except the cheese is replaced with curry.
Curry chips
You can use the same recipe, except you’ll omit the cheese and do this:
Fry the onion until transparent then add 1 tbsp of curry powder.
Since this is a quick ‘n easy recipe I’m not going to ask you to create a curry powder of your own, but if you happen to have some, use it.
A ready made general purpose good quality curry powder works just fine. I recommend this one; I buy it online.
