Summer is curry. At each FamilyMart store (excluding some stores), three new curry breads were released on July 19 as part of the "Curry Fair".
The lineup is as follows. * All prices include tax
European-style beef curry bread with rich beef and umami 145 yen Keema curry pie with rich beef umami 160 yen Butter chicken curry nan with chicken umami 138 yen
All three items with attractive names that make you want to eat. I decided to try them all.
● European-style beef curry bread with richness and umami of beef 392kcal
Of the three products, this is the closest to the so-called "curry bread" image. Curry is packed in a round fried bread.
The bread is fluffy. The fine bread crumbs sprinkled on the surface create a crispy and good texture.
As the name suggests, curry has a rich taste that emphasizes the richness and umami of beef. It is not spicy and mainly has a deep sweetness. Banana puree is also used as a secret ingredient.
It feels like a higher-grade curry bread. Delicious!
● Keema curry pie with rich beef flavor 299kcal
Keema curry is put in the crispy and fragrant puff pastry.
As the name suggests, keema curry has the flavor of beef. You can feel the spicy spiciness and rich sweetness. The taste is not too heavy, but it is well-balanced with the buttery puff pastry.
Combined with the crispy texture, it is delicious and addictive. If you eat it with a knife and fork, you will feel a little rich.
● Butter chicken curry naan with chicken flavor 244kcal
A slightly unusual curry bread with butter chicken curry wrapped in thin naan.
Nan has a chewy texture, and when chewed, it has a slight sweetness. The taste is closer to the Indian curry shop Nan than I expected! When warmed, it becomes fluffy and more delicious.
The butter chicken inside has a sweetness and richness, and if you taste it carefully, it is definitely butter chicken. However, because the amount was small for naan, the claim was weak, and the moment I ate it, I didn't feel "Oh! Butter chicken!". It's not a complaint as simply "nan with sweet curry", but it may have been a little unsatisfactory for butter chicken lovers.
● Summary
These are 3 curry breads with different personalities. I want to eat curry, but I don't have the appetite to eat it at the store. Why don't you choose the one you care about at noon on such a hot day?
