How the fuck do I make this shit? >This was my second attempt >i used 1 cup of vegetable oil >1 cup of flour >stir at a good pace for about 10 minutes >see that it's lumpy
How the fuck are you supposed to do this? I didn't stop stirring once, yet it still ended up like this.
It's not worth it, just make it in smaller batched from scrratch.
also you need to use more oil/fat, and might need to turn the temp down.
Logan Young
use potatoes to thicken curry

Man from Louisiana here. Add more oil. The oil needs to be about 1/4 to 1/2 more than flour. It also needs to be cooked to a darker brown. You can also lets the food settle and scoop oil out later if you think its too much. You can also trying making it in the microwave. Add normal proportion and nuke it for 1:30 to 2 min. Then 30 sec at a time stirring in between each time till its your desired darkness. This process is slower but works.

Robert Russell
>roux >vegetable oil
What? I thought you have to use butter.
Tyler Morris
Idk if it "needs" to be darker...
Jaxson Barnes
how is this not the first comment?
this motherfucker op is using ONE CUP OF FLOUR with one cup of oil
Benjamin Anderson
you make beurre manie (1:1 butter and flour by volume, swish it around in a pan until it's the color you need it to be but no less than one minute) from that you can make any of the sauces by just adding water your mistake there is having used so much flour and water for a sauce that will suffice for two portions of whatever food you need about a tablespoon each so now that you have this unholy mess, take two tablespoons of it and slowly dilute with warm water, while stirring presto-change-o it is impossible to fuck up a roux if you don't set up to make one in a single step like a retard
Jackson Hernandez
> so much flour and water flour and oil, sorry
Easton Myers
Just add your liquid to it and wait. It'll look lumpy as shit at first, but once the it comes up to temperature the lumps will smooth out.
Also >i used 1 cup of vegetable oil >1 cup of flour Holy fuck are you trying to escape Alcatraz by turning the sea into cake.
Jason Green
To OP and all other dumb yanks here.
You do NOT make a roux with oil. You can achieve a roux like that, albeit a shit one, but that's not a legitimate roux.
And no, not margarine you fucks.

Any fat can be used for roux
The world does not revolve around French cooking, user
Okay, it probably does, but still, any fat can be used for roux
Gabriel Phillips
I make a roux for my sausage gravy by putting flour into the sausage drippings
Luis Turner
A good dark roux takes at least 30 min, and you are using the wrong kind of pan; you should be using a heavy Dutch oven. At any rate you don't need a roux to thicken curry. Cornstarch and H20 will work fine.
Eli Kelly
Start with a smaller amount. I do this and it's never failed me:
1. Quarter cup of saturated fat (butter, ghee, coconut oil) in a pan, turn to medium-low 2. When the oil is shimmery, start shaking (like 1/2 - 1 tsp at a time) flour into the oil while quickly whisking with a rubber whisk. Add flour only after fully incorporating the existing flour 3. Increase heat to medium and keep whisking to prevent clumps and keep it from burning 4. Allow to brown to whatever degree you want 5. Add broth or milk or whatever to the roux slowly while whisking, then use this thickened broth/milk to thicken whatever dish you need thickened.

why did the french invent margarine if they didn't want to use it?

is fucking up roux a meme? how is it even possible to to fuck this up?
Adrian James
I literally never cook my roux more than a few seconds and it has never failed to work.

Christian Williams
I use 1 Tbsp flour and 1 Tbsp butter. Melt the butter in a saucier, sprinkle the flour on top of the butter, use a flat whisk to mix the two ingredients and cook the flour.
When you detect a kind of nut-like fragrance, add a cup of chicken or beef stock, stir that up, let it simmer down and thicken while you prepare the rest of the meal. Don't burn it. Add water if it gets too thick.
