How to Prepare Japanese Katsu Curry:

Prepare the Curry Paste:

  3. Pour in the water and increase the heat until the mixture boils. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let the vegetables cook thoroughly.

  4. Add the curry paste to the pot and stir until it dissolves completely. Cover the pot and let it simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Prepare the Chicken:

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, ensuring an even coating.

  2. Coat the chicken first in flour, then dip it in the beaten egg, and finally cover it with breadcrumbs.

  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat, then fry the breaded chicken breasts until golden and fully cooked on all sides.

  4. Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.

Assemble the Katsu Curry:
