Katsu Curry
Katsu curry is a unique dish of Japanese cuisine, consisting of two main ingredients: juicy cutlet (katsu) and intense, full-flavored curry sauce. To prepare katsu curry, the chicken brest is coated in crispy panko breadcrumbs and fried to a golden brown, then served on top of cooked rice. The curry sauce is a mixture of aromatic vegetables, such as onion, carrot, potato, and lentils, cooked in a broth with curry powder, garam masala, and soy sauce.
Preparing katsu curry is easy, and the necessary ingredients can be found in every grocery store. It’s a perfect lunch or dinner option that will surely satisfy your taste buds and make you love Japanese cuisine even more.
