Katsu Curry
Katsu Curry is a beloved Japanese comfort food that combines the crunch of breaded and fried chicken with a fragrant, rich curry sauce. Originating from the fusion of Western and Japanese cuisines in the late 19th century, this dish has become a staple in homes and restaurants alike. The contrast of the crispy chicken against the smooth, savory curry creates a delightful harmony of textures and flavors, making it a dish that warms the heart and pleases the palate.

 - Curry powder

 - Panko breadcrumbs

 - All-purpose flour
 - 1 cup
 - Black pepper

 - 2, boneless and skinless
 
Instructions
- Start by cooking the rice according to package instructions and set aside.
 - Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
 - Dredge each chicken breast in all-purpose flour, ensuring to coat evenly. Then dip them into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
 - In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering. Fry the breaded chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove from the skillet and let rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
 - In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and diced carrot. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
 - Sprinkle in the curry powder and garam masala, stirring to combine and toast the spices for about 1 minute.
 - Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, and honey. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow the curry sauce to simmer for 10-15 minutes, until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
 - While the sauce is simmering, slice the fried chicken breasts into strips.
 - To serve, place a generous scoop of rice on each plate. Top with the sliced chicken and ladle the curry sauce over the top. Enjoy your delicious Katsu Curry!
