Delicious Chicken Katsu Curry 🇯🇵 - Chicken Katsu Curry from Gizzi Erskine's Kitchen Magic. Recreate your Wagamamas favourite and make katsu curry at home. I've used chicken here, but I have also eaten this made with juicy king prawns or with pork tenderloin, both equally delicious. This healthier katsu is coated in finely chopped flaked almonds and baked in the oven (rather than fried) until crisp and golden. This is my version of the delicious Japanese katsu curry that they serve at Wagamama.

The ingredients for this katsu curry are easy to find at your local grocery store.

However, I have included links in the recipe card to purchase some of the ingredients on Amazon if desired (affiliate links).

Delicious Chicken Katsu Curry 🇯🇵 step by step

1. In a food processor, make the onions into a pure, set aside. Do the same to the garlic and carrots. If you don't have a food processor, cut them as small as possible. (Some traditional recipes will leave it into chunks and also have potatoes to thicken it.).
2. In a pan, add the oil and bring it to almost boiling point, fry the onions first. Once they have cooked, move it to a corner, put it in low heat and fry the garlic. Mix it with the onions and leave it in the corner again, them cook the carrots..
3. Mix it all together now, then add the flour and curry powder. Have your stock ready and boiling..
4. Make it into a paste, blending together until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Slowly, add the stock while mixing, make sure you mix it vigorously so there is no lumps left. You can add the remaining stock once you feel it won't create any lumps..
5. Now add the honey and the soy sauce, stir it well..
6. If you want extra smooth, you can use a blender while still on the hob. Add the bay leaf and stir. Put the lid on and leave it to cook for about 10 minutes in low heat..
7. Start preparing the breaded chicken / breaded aubergines. Season it with salt and garlic. You will need 3 plates, one for the flour, one for the egg and one for the breadcrumbs..
8. First, on the flour, all around, then straight into the egg and last is the breadcrumbs. Make sure it is covered all around. Press it down so the crumbs stick to it evenly..
9. Go back to your sauce and add the garam masala, stir it well and check if the thickness is to your taste. It has to be creamy. Put the lid back on and start frying your chicken..
10. In a frying pan, add oil enough to cover just bellow half the thickness of the chicken or aubergine. Check the temperature by dusting it with some of the crumbs. Once the oil is ready, fry the pieces on one side then turn them over once they are golden brown..
11. Switch off the sauce and remove the bay leaf. Serve with rice. Enjoy!!.
