How to make Katsu Curry

Katsu Curry is a delicious Japanese dish that combines crispy breaded meat (usually chicken or pork) with a rich, flavorful curry sauce. To make this dish, you first need to prepare the katsu, which is the breaded and fried meat. Start by choosing your protein — chicken breast or pork loin are common choices. Tenderize the meat and season it with salt and pepper. Dredge the meat in flour, dip it in beaten egg, and coat it in panko breadcrumbs. Fry the breaded meat in hot oil until golden brown and crispy, then set it aside. Next, prepare the curry sauce. In a saucepan, sauté onions, garlic, and grated ginger until soft and fragrant. Add carrots and potatoes, then pour in some chicken or vegetable stock. Season the mixture with soy sauce, sugar, and a bit of curry powder or a pre-made Japanese curry roux for a richer, more authentic taste. Simmer the sauce until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together. To serve, slice the katsu into strips and pour the curry sauce over the top or serve it on the side. You can accompany it with steamed rice for a complete meal. Katsu Curry is comforting, satisfying, and perfect for any occasion.
