Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon oil
2 medium onions, chopped
3 medium potatoes, chopped
2 medium carrots, chopped
3 ½ cups water, or as needed
1 (3.5 ounce) container curry sauce mix (such as S&B® Golden Curry®)
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon apricot jam
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon curry powder
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten, or as needed
1 cup panko bread crumbs
½ cup peanut oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add onions to the hot oil and fry until soft and starting to caramelize, about 8 minutes. Add potatoes and carrots. Pour in water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until potatoes are soft, about 45 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat and add curry sauce mix; stir well until all pieces are dissolved. If you'd like to add seasonings, add ketchup, Worcestershire, jam, and soy sauce. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or longer if you'd like it thicker.
  • While the curry is infusing, flatten the chicken breasts with a kitchen mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Season with salt and pepper. Drench in flour, then egg, and then coat generously with panko bread crumbs.
  • Heat oil in a separate saucepan to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C). Carefully lower breaded cutlets into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
  • While the chicken is cooking, stir 1 teaspoon curry powder into the sauce.
  • Slice cooked chicken into strips and spoon curry sauce over top.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup white rice
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more for frying
1 onion, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 carrots, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 pound turnips, peeled and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
2 cups low-sodium beef or chicken broth, plus more if needed
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 ounces Japanese curry mix
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups panko
4 1/2-inch-thick boneless pork loin chops (4 to 5 ounces each)

Steps:

  • Cook the rice as the label directs. Remove from the heat and set aside 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add 2 cups water, the carrots, turnips, broth, 3/4 teaspoon salt and
  • a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil and add the curry mix; stir until combined. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook, stirring halfway through, until the sauce is thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir and add a little extra broth or water to thin, if needed; season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  • Put the flour, beaten eggs and panko in 3 shallow dishes. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Coat a pork chop in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then coat with the panko. Repeat with the remaining pork.
  • Fill another large pot with 2 inches of vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 ̊ F. Deep-fry 2 pork chops until golden, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle lightly with salt. Repeat with the remaining 2 chops. Let rest 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Divide the rice among bowls and ladle in the warm curry. Slice the pork and serve on top.

KATSU CURRY



Katsu curry image

Make our easy katsu curry with options to adapt the recipe for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets. You'll need chicken or tofu depending on your preference

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 tbsp rapeseed oil or vegetable oil
2 x 200g pouches cooked rice (we used brown basmati)
½ large cucumber, peeled into ribbons
handful mint leaves or coriander leaves, or both
lime wedges, to serve
1 tbsp rapeseed oil or vegetable oil
2 onions, chopped
2 large carrots, chopped, plus 1 peeled into ribbons
2 garlic cloves, crushed
thumb-sized piece ginger, peeled and grated or finely chopped
1 tbsp curry powder, mild or medium depending on your spice tolerance
½ tsp ground turmeric
400ml can coconut milk
2 tsp maple syrup (or use honey if not cooking for vegans)
1 tbsp cornflour
8 chicken mini fillets, or a 280-300g block firm tofu, or half and half
200g breadcrumbs (gluten-free if necessary)

Steps:

  • First, make the curry sauce. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan, cook the onions and chopped carrots until the onions are soft and starting to caramelise, about 8 mins. Add the garlic and ginger and sizzle for another 30 secs, then stir in the curry powder and turmeric. Once the spices are warmed through, add the coconut milk, maple syrup or honey and 100ml water. Season well, cover and simmer over a low heat for 20 mins.
  • Now make the katsu. In a wide bowl, mix the cornflour with 4 tbsp water and some seasoning. Dip the chicken or tofu into the flour mixture (if cooking for both vegans and meat eaters, make sure you dip the tofu first to avoid mixing it with meat). Place the breadcrumbs in another bowl and dip the chicken or tofu in it, turning until well coated.
  • When the onions and carrots in the curry sauce are soft, blitz using a hand or table-top blender. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water, check the seasoning, adding more salt, maple syrup or some lime juice, if you like. Keep warm.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the chicken or tofu for 4-5 mins on each side until golden and cooked through. Warm the rice and divide between bowls. Top with the curry sauce, katsu chicken or tofu, and serve with the cucumber, carrot ribbons, herbs and lime wedges.

KATSU CURRY



Katsu Curry image

It is Japan's chili, its bacon cheeseburger, its meatloaf and gravy all in one, a hangover-killing man meal found in bars and restaurants up and down the country narrow, never as good as Mom's. It is katsu curry: a thick, fragrant, porky roux glopped across delicate short-grain rice and topped - gilded, really - with a deep-fried pork cutlet, served beside a tangle of shredded cabbage. It's great.

Categories     main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

3 tablespoons butter
1 pound ground pork
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons curry powder, preferably S&B (see note)
1 onion, peeled and quartered
3 garlic cloves, peeled
1 green apple, peeled, cored and quartered
1 mango, peeled, cored and quartered
1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled and cut into coins
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into coins
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth, plus more as needed
Peanut or canola oil
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs
6 thin, center-cut boneless pork chops, lightly pounded
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cooked short-grain Japanese rice
Raw cabbage, thinly sliced
Tonkatsu sauce (optional, see note).

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ground pork and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the meat has browned and the moisture has evaporated. Mix in the flour and curry powder, turn the heat to low and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to make a porky roux.
  • Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse together the onion, garlic, apple, mango, ginger, carrot, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce until a grainy purée forms. Transfer the purée to the pork and mix until combined. The sauce should be very thick.
  • Stir in the chicken broth and cook, partly covered, over low heat for about an hour, stirring occasionally. If needed, add a bit more stock to loosen the sauce.
  • Prepare the pork: Heat 1 inch of oil in a frying pan and set a candy thermometer in the oil. Place the eggs in a wide shallow bowl and the panko in another. When the oil temperature reaches 320 degrees, season the pork chops all over with salt and pepper. Cover them, one by one, in the egg and then in the panko, and fry in batches in the hot oil until browned, for about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and let drain for 5 minutes. Slice the pork chops against the grain. Serve the curry sauce over cooked Japanese rice. Top with the sliced pork and serve with a small handful of sliced cabbage. If you choose, drizzle the cutlet with a little tonkatsu sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Beef, pork, or chicken can all be used for katsu curry, but the best cuts are those that are tender and flavorful. Look for cuts that have a good amount of marbling, as this will help keep the meat moist during cooking.
  • Pound the meat thin: This will help it cook evenly and quickly. You can use a meat mallet or a rolling pin to pound the meat until it is about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Coat the meat in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs: This will help the meat stay crispy when it is fried.
  • Fry the meat in hot oil: This will help it cook quickly and evenly. You can use a deep fryer or a large skillet to fry the meat.
  • Make the curry sauce: There are many different recipes for katsu curry sauce, but they all typically include a combination of onions, carrots, celery, and curry powder. You can also add other vegetables, such as potatoes or bell peppers.
  • Serve the katsu curry with rice: This is the traditional way to serve katsu curry. You can also serve it with noodles or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Katsu curry is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and satisfying meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious katsu curry that your family and friends will love.
