Katsu Curry 🍛

Introduction

Craving a comforting and hearty meal that combines crispy chicken cutlets with a rich, flavorful curry? Look no further than Katsu Curry, a beloved Japanese dish that perfectly blends savory and sweet flavors.

Ingredients

For the curry:

• Japanese curry roux 🍛
• 1 chicken cutlet 🍗
• 1 onion, sliced 🧅
• 1 potato, diced 🥔
• 1 carrot, sliced 🥕
• Fukujinzuke (optional) 🥒

Instructions

1️⃣ Sauté the onions

Start by heating some oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté them until they become slightly browned, releasing their sweet aroma. 🧅🔥

2️⃣ Cook the vegetables

Next, add the potatoes and carrots to the pot. Cook them until they become tender and easily pierced with a fork. The vegetables will soak up all the flavors of the curry sauce. 🥔🥕🍲

3️⃣ Add the curry roux

Sprinkle the curry roux into the pot and stir until it dissolves completely. As the curry roux melts, it will thicken the sauce, giving it a luscious texture and rich flavor. 🍛🔄

4️⃣ Cook the chicken cutlets

While the curry is simmering, prepare the chicken cutlets. Take your pre-cooked or homemade breaded chicken cutlets and cook them separately until they turn crispy and golden brown. The crunchy cutlet is what gives katsu curry its signature texture. 🍗🍳

5️⃣ Plate the dish

Finally, plate the katsu curry. Start by serving a generous portion of cooked rice on a plate. Place the crispy chicken cutlet beside it, and pour the aromatic curry sauce on the side. Optionally, add fukujinzuke for an extra kick of flavor. 🍛🍚🥢

Enjoy your homemade katsu curry! 🎉🍛
