Curry Cheese Risotto: A Quick & Easy Gourmet Meal at Home
Made a super-speedy and super-simple Curry Cheese Risotto!^^♡
I wanted to create a restaurant-like atmosphere at home!^^♡ This easy and delicious recipe is perfect for a special meal without the fuss.
Ingredients- 4 King oyster mushrooms
- 1/2 Onion
- 1/2 Carrot
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 package Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 Mild curry powder + 1/2 Medium-spicy curry powder
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables that will add flavor to your curry cheese risotto. Trim the tough ends off the king oyster mushrooms. Wash the onion and carrot thoroughly and dice them very finely. In a pan, lightly heat some cooking oil and sauté the finely diced vegetables over low heat until they become fragrant and slightly sweet. It’s important to cook them until they are tender and release their natural sweetness.^^♡
Step 2
Once the vegetables are well sautéed, pour 1 cup (about 200ml) of milk into a pot or deep pan. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat slightly. Stir occasionally as the milk heats up to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
Step 3
Now it’s time to add the curry flavor! Add 1/2 packet of mild curry powder and 1/2 packet of medium-spicy curry powder to the pot. Whisk vigorously with a whisk or spatula to ensure the curry powder dissolves smoothly and doesn’t clump. Simmer gently for about 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the curry blends well with the milk and thickens to a risotto-like consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning with a tiny pinch of salt or pepper if desired.
Step 4
Ladle the prepared risotto into a beautiful serving dish. Now for the crowning glory! Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese all over the top. You can enjoy it like this, with the cheese melting beautifully, but for an even more decadent experience, microwave it for another 1.5 to 2 minutes. This will make the cheese extra soft, gooey, and wonderfully stringy, creating a fantastic visual and taste sensation. And just like that, a super simple, super speedy curry cheese risotto that rivals any restaurant is ready right in your own home! Enjoy every delicious bite!^^♡
