Chicken Katsu Curry

[littlegreenfairy]

I've just had a nibble of this at Wagamama's (I actually had beef, but it would have been rude not to try my OH's) and OH MY. I need to cook this at home.

Does anyone have a good recipe to make the sauce? Or does anyone know where you can buy it?

I need more. oooh yeah

Its a school-dinner chicken cutlet with chip shop curry sauce on it.

horrid stuff, its taken from British naval curry powder our sailors brought in in the early 20th century.

Thank god its not just me that thought it was chip shop curry sauce.

I feel vindicated.

For a simple at home method with a twist.

Simply pour chip shop curry sauce over a Findus crispy pancake.

Its probably in one of these though I'm not sure which. I'll check tonight as I have one of them.

Thanks, but I've looked in their cookbook and its not in there. Unless I'm being really blind.

Now I know it might not be to everyones tastes but I really enjoyed it. I might try the local oriental supermarket to see if they have a cooking sauce to give a go with first.

Lovely - it seems to be pretty much the same as every other one I've found (yet written so I can actually find the stuff in the supermarket rather than just ¨curry powder&#168 so it confirms what I thought was right.

Looks like I might be making this for dinner tonight

Thank you

you can get the sauce in a packet from your local chinese cash and carry in the Japanese section btw - its the same as you will get in a restaurant.

Or just buy chip shop curry sauce granules for a similar effect.

And tastes exactly the same (other than being pork instead of chicken) as you get in Japan as a Kare Katsu. Nothing like curry, but rather nice in an odd way
