Shiitake powder boosts the Umami taste of other ingredients. And Shiitake enhances the aroma of curry.
Shiitake has two kinds of aroma.
1st aroma => Smelling with noses before eating.
2nd aroma => Feeling of fragrance after eating.
The 2nd aroma boosts aromas of spices.

Tips and tricks:
For the ground meat, you can brown it in the same way as for a hamburger patty. By frying the meat until its juices run clear, its raw odor can be eliminated.

Adding a little water to Shiitake powder and waiting 10 minutes before using, maximizes 3x the Umami Flavor! One dry Tbsp equals one pre-soaked tsp, the same Umami boosting power. The drying and rehydrating process of Shiitake produces "Guanylate," a natural Umami energizer. Guanylate amplifies the Umami taste of all foods.
