Chicken Katsu Curry (2024)

FAQs

Why is chicken katsu curry so good? ›

The katsu sauce is so unique to any other curry recipe that I've tried. It's rich & creamy with zingy hits from the ginger. And when paired with the diagonally sliced, crispy breaded chicken- there's nothing like it. The recipe originates from Japan originally.

This one combines the sweet taste of onions and carrots, with lots of garlic and chicken stock. With a touch of honey and soy sauce. That's it – really! Sweet, tangy and delicious, you won't ever look back once you've tried it at home.

In Japan, when we say " Katsu Curry", we mean the one with deep-fried pork. It's important to note that Japanese people will never call curry without deep-fried cutlets on top "Katsu Curry". It's called 'curry rice'.

What does katsu curry taste like? The Katsu curry bears little resemblance to your usual Indian curry in terms of flavour. It's a sweeter, richer flavour thanks to the variety of spices used. The sweet flavours are enhanced by using soy sauce, bringing a delicious more-ish flavour to the dish.

The Japanese absolutely love curry and deep-fried food. So it only makes sense that we pair the two together for a hearty and scrumptious dish like this Katsu Curry (カツカレー). Don't be surprised when I tell you there are so many paths to put this popular curry rice together!

A customary item for Japanese curry, f*ckujinzuke (福神漬) is a type of Tsukemono, Japanese pickled vegetables. The pickles are easily recognizable for its eye-catching red color as they sit atop in almost every curry dish.

The curry is a sauce that tends to be milder in flavor than other curries. Unfortunately, katsu curry can be high in calories and not very healthy for you. Curries, in general, tend to be more fattening than people expect. If you're looking for a way to make your favorite dish waistline-friendly, look no further.

Love these Sakurazuke - pink pickled daikon mooli radish slices - really unusual sweet & sour / tangy flavour with a satsifying crunch. I tend to pop them on a Katsu curry, stir-fried noodles or ramen noodles with a Yutaka instant bonito miso soup broth (very lean but un-authentic!) or to accompany sushi.

The stand-out feature of a Japanese curry is its thick, rich sauce. The thickness of the sauce which can only be found in Japanese curry is supported and beloved by many. The rich and indulgent sauce mixes with rice so perfectly, you will find it difficult stoping eating.

There are no sides or drinks as part of this meal, just breaded chicken, rice and Katsu sauce. That's almost half your daily calorie intake and it makes a fairly large dent in your pocket too at £10.95 per portion (At our local Nottingham branch, other branches may vary).

Good katsu (the breaded and fried part) delivers texture as the universally loved fried chicken, while the curry sauce is warmly spiced and reminiscent of our chip-shop favourite.

Your curry can taste bitter if the spices and garlic are burnt or if you've added too much fenugreek to the dish. You see, the secret to cooking a delicious curry recipe is to create a spicy paste and slowly cook it before adding your meat.

Chicken Katsu is a Japanese-style chicken cutlet that is breaded and then fried. It comes out super crispy on the outside and perfectly juicy and tender on the inside. The chicken typically gets served with Tonkatsu Sauce. It's a Japanese sauce that's tangy, rich, and slightly sweet.

Each brand that is sold here is either mild, mid-hot or fairly hot. But I believe NOT as hot/spicy as an indian curry. It tastes like tonkatsu or deep fried breaded pork cutlet covered in Japanese curry served with rice on the side.

What's so cracking about Katsu? This Japanese take on curry is uniquely indulgent. What makes Katsu different from any other Japanese (or worldwide) curry is the preparation of the meat. Meat in Katsu is first breaded in Panko breadcrumbs, then fried, then slathered in a rich curry sauce and served with sticky rice.

It is a well-balanced, richly spiced dish with notes of deep savory flavors from turmeric, coriander, cumin, bay leaf, cinnamon, and cloves, just to name a few. Black pepper and red chilies provide spiciness and a rich hue.
