Chicken Katsu Curry is a modern Japanese dish that reflects the country's embrace of Western culinary influences during the Meiji Restoration (late 19th century). Tonkatsu (pork cutlet), from which Chicken Katsu is derived, was inspired by European cutlets. Curry, originally from India but popularized by the British, was adopted and adapted by the Japanese. The combination of katsu and curry is a relatively recent innovation, becoming widespread in the 20th century.

Chicken Katsu Curry presents a delightful combination of savory, umami, and slightly sweet flavors. The crispy, golden-brown chicken katsu contrasts beautifully with the rich and aromatic curry sauce.
The dish features tender chicken breast coated in crispy panko breadcrumbs, offering a satisfying textural contrast. The Japanese curry sauce is a blend of spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and ginger, creating a complex and umami-rich flavor profile. It often includes vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and onions, adding sweetness and depth. The rice provides a neutral base, while a side salad with a tangy dressing offers a refreshing counterpoint.

Crispy Katsu
Use high-quality panko breadcrumbs for the best texture. Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature (around 325-350°F) to avoid soggy or burnt katsu. Don't overcrowd the pan; fry in batches to maintain oil temperature. Let the fried chicken rest on a wire rack to allow excess oil to drain.
Rich Curry Sauce
Sauté the vegetables (onions, carrots, potatoes) thoroughly to develop their sweetness. Use a good quality Japanese curry roux for a consistent and flavorful sauce. Simmer the curry for a sufficient time to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken. Adjust the water and roux to reach the desired consistency.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the katsu sliced on top of the rice and curry. A side of pickled vegetables (tsukemono) or a simple green salad with a Japanese dressing (like ginger dressing) complements the richness of the curry. Some people like to add a soft boiled egg on top of the curry, for a rich texture and flavor
