Japanese Katsu with Pork Cutlet

Serves 4 Prep Time 20 minutes   Cook Time 25 minutes   Rated:

I love Japanese cuisine, but don't often think of it in terms of curry. This is a bit of an iconic curry, and is pretty mild as curries go. Of course there is a delicious crispy pork cutlet on top. Wouldn't be Japanese without it! You could substitute in a chicken or veal cutlet and be just as happy!

For my money, this is not so much a curry as a fried schnitzel with a great gravy. But there you! Japanese curry at it's best.
