What is Katsu Curry Made of?

Katsu is perhaps one of Japan’s most renowned comfort foods. The dish consists of a breaded cutlet (usually made with panko breadcrumbs) of either chicken or pork. You can also use tofu in place of the meat for a vegetarian option.

Traditionally, the dish is accompanied by steamed rice, shredded cabbage and a generous helping of the moreish katsu curry sauce. S&B Golden Curry is great brand for instant curry mixes that'll elevate your recipes with no effort at all.

Note: For a healthier alternative, rather than frying, bake the chicken in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
