I wanted to make this recipe card from reddit, but found the translations and steps confusing. With my vegan roommates, myself gluten-free when I can, I didn’t have all the ingredients it needed. So I wondered–could I make homemade curry without all the fuss?
The answer is yes.
This curry is the Firey Curry from Persona 5 Royal. It’s the same, but spicy!! It happens in-game when you add too many spices. It takes GUTS to eat this curry!! Level up your KNOWLEDGE once you make this for for that special someone to increase CHARM and PROFICIENCY.
Sharing it with you gives me KINDNESS. So make this for others! This base roux, or curry “starter” makes about 2-4 servings depending on how hungry the people eating are.
This version is meatless, gluten-free less, and vegan since I only use water. But it tastes just as good and delicious. My version uses a secret ingredient.
Leblanc Firey Curry – Persona 5 Royal Inspired (GF/Vegan/Veg – Beginner Ver)
This base version of a traditional Japanese curry requires little to no effort. It’s also not really traditional, as it’s missing key ingredients. Reference the reddit recipe card, please in case to make your own variations.

What to add from here?
At this point, the curry goes on top of beef, lamb or pork. For a lighter non-vegan curry, add a cup of chicken broth instead of water and omit the soy sauce. At the end of the day, it’s up to you to enjoy. So enjoy it!
*Einkorn is an ancient grain that some people with wheat sensitivities can eat. If you have celiac disease, talk to your Doctor about options with einkorn before using it in place of a more traditional gluten alternative Arrowroot.
