Instructions

1

Dice the onions finely. Melt the butter in a skillet.

Tip: Let the butter melt over low heat so the milk solids don't burn.
2

Sauté the onions in the butter until translucent (approx. 5-8 minutes). Do not brown them!

Tip: Slow sautéing (sweating) brings out the natural sugars in the onion without creating bitter charred notes.
3

Sprinkle with curry powder and crushed garlic. Sauté for 1 minute.

Tip: The fat-soluble aromas of the curry powder are released at this stage.
4

Pour in the broth, reduce by half, then add the heavy cream.

Tip: Reducing the broth concentrates flavors before the cream dilutes them.
5

Simmer until thickened, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with parsley at the end.

Tip: If it's too thick, you can thin it with a splash of milk.

Recipe FAQ

Why is it yellow?
The turmeric in the curry powder gives it its color. It is a natural dye that dissolves best in fat.
