  • Heat cooking oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over high heat. Once the oil is hot, add 1/4 cup of chopped onions and cook for 1-2 minutes until they turn golden brown.

  • Add 1 1/2 cups of water to the pot and bring it to a soft boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add in chopped carrots, curry roux and any secret ingredients you want to add. Let the curry simmer for 10-15 minutes, partially covered, stirring occasionally until it thickens.

  • While the curry is simmering, melt 1/2 tbsp of butter over medium heat in a skillet. Add 1 tbsp of diced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until they are browned. Set the onions aside.

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, grated garlic, panko, salt, black pepper, 1 egg, half & half, nutmeg, and the browned onions. Mix well with your hands until everything is fully combined.

  • Take half of the mixture and shape it into a ball by gently tossing it between your hands. Then press it into a 1-inch thick patty. Use your thumb to make a small indent in the center of each patty, which helps it keep its shape during cooking. Repeat with the rest of the mixture and set the patties aside.
