Katsu Curry with S&B Golden Curry Sauce Mix

recipe2017-2Rich aromatic curry that could only be made in Japan

The combination of silky, aromatic sauce and the crunch of breaded meat is what makes katsu curry such a long-standing favourite among home-cooked dishes in Japan. Curry sauce was first introduced from India via Europe, but it was the invention of curry roux that made it possible for the average household cook to make curry, leading the Japanese to truly embrace the dish. S&B was at the forefront of the curry roux revolution, leading the way with its Golden Curry Sauce Mix, which then, as today, is made proudly in Japan. S&B Curry Sauce Mix has a transformative effect on dishes, imparting the rich aroma of the careful blend of spices and herbs in S&B original curry powder.

INGREDIENTS

Serves 4

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 4 pork loin steaks or chicken breasts
  • 1/2 carrot, grated
  • 620ml water
  • Salt and pepper
  • 50g plain flour

METHODS/STEPS

  1. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large saucepan, fry the onion and carrot over a medium heat until softened. Add the water, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 mins. Remove from the heat then add the curry sauce mix, in pieces, stir until completely melted. Simmer gently for another 5 mins, stirring constantly.
