Katsu Chicken Curry
This is my version of the Japanese curry! To coat the chicken I used Panko breadcrumbs, they are quite readily available now however golden breadcrumbs or even crushed up puffed rice cereal will work just as well!

Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 3 tbsp plain flour
- 1 beaten egg
- 4 tbsp panko or golden breadcrumbs (or crushed puffed rice!)
- For the sauce:
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 2 cloves garlic,crushed
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 1 tbsp curry powder (medium works best)
- 1 ½ tbsp soy sauce
- 500ml chicken stock
- 1 tsp black pepper
Place the chicken between two pieces of cling film & bash with a rolling pin until they are even thickness.
Put the flour, egg & breadcrumbs into shallow dishes or plates.
Dip each chicken breast first into the flour, then the egg & finally the breadcrumbs making sure they are evenly coated. Place on to a plate or tray, cover with cling film & put in the fridge for 15 minutes.
To make the sauce heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the onion & carrot for 2 minutes then add the garlic. Cook until soft then stir in the flour & curry powder. Keep stirring for about 3 minutes to cook out the flour & avoid that floury taste!
Gradually add the stock stirring well to keep it smooth. Pour in the soy sauce & season with pepper-you are unlikely to need salt as the soy should take care of that.
Allow to simmer for 10 minutes then set aside & keep warm while you cook the chicken.
Carefully add the coated chicken & cook for about 5 minutes until golden then turn it over & cook for another 5 minutes. Set aside on a chopping board to rest for a minute.
Slice the chicken into strips.
Serve the chicken with rice with the sauce on top, on the side over the rice or however you like!
