This Japanese recipe of crisp fried chicken in a simple curry sauce is packed full of flavour and so easy to make at home.
For something different, ditch the chicken and try our vegan katsu curry instead.

Ingredients
- 2 onions, sliced
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 5 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 heaped tbsp medium curry powder
- 1 tbsp plain flour

- Fry the onions in the oil for 10 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and fry for 5 minutes. Stir in the curry powder, plain flour and chicken stock. Season and simmer for 15 minutes, then whizz in a blender. Strain into a clean pan, then stir in a drizzle of honey, the mirin and soy sauce. Keep warm.

made this last week, and so easy. Next time I make it, I probably wouldn’t bother straining the katsu sauce after blending it, as I think the consistency is much nicer when slightly thicker.
Love a tasty curry and it really isn’t hard to make one. I encourage anyone who thinks it difficult to try, it isn’t. There are some great recipes in this selection and I’ve cooked some of them already.
