Instructions

Katsu Curry Sauce
    Cup of Yum
  1. Roughly chop the onion, garlic, ginger and carrot.

Katsu Curry Vegetables
  1. Peel the sweet potato and wash the aubergine or eggplant. Cut the vegetables into round slices.
  2. Add the flour, spices, and plant-based milk to a large bowl. Combine well until you have a perfectly smooth batter with no lumps.
  3. Dip one by one the sweet potato and aubergine slices into the batter until they are fully coated.
  4. In a separate bowl, add the breadcrumbs and dip each battered slice into the breadcrumbs until perfectly coated.
  5. Heat some frying oil in a pan and when hot, add the sweet potato and eggplant slices. Fry until they are golden brown.
  6. Place on a paper towel to release excess oil and they will be ready to be served.

Notes

  • Serve the Katsu Curry with some steamed rice, fresh cucumber, and green leaves. 
  • You can use spicy curry powder if you want your sauce spicy.
