Quick Chicken Katsu Curry Recipe! 

try grated carrots instead of honey to sweeten it. that's what they use in the classic Japanese recipe. It tastes fresher!

I made this tonight, and both my wife and I loved it. The chicken was succulent with a nice crispy crust, and the real trick is to ladle the sauce AROUND the rice and chicken, so you don't disturb the crunch of the chicken shell, or overwhelm the rice. Most other recipes for this dish include carrot, so I added one finely dice small thin, sweet carrot to the onion for sweating. I blitzed it with my immersion blender, which was once white but now is a turmeric yellow, and the resulting dish WAS FABULOUS. All the other recipe vids for this dish were way longer, way more complicated, and not nearly as appealing. I do make my own curry spice mix, and added extra chilis for heat. My wife said "Put this on a regular rotation"--not something she says often.

Made this tonight and it was fab!! Would highly recommend. As I’m trying to cut down on bad fats, next time I will try and oven cook the breaded chicken instead of fry to make it a little healthier. Thoroughly enjoyed this recipe! Thanks Donal

This recipe rocks guys it’s absolutely delicious I just made it & cannot get enough my family love it try it out!! Thank you to the creator.

Hey Donal !! Like always your recipes are so spot on..I tried this today and can’t thank you enough.. the chicken crust was crunchy and had flavor in every bite..(although I marinated it in ginger, garlic and soy sauce) and the curry came out smooth and yummy 😋..thanks bud for sharing!! You indeed are an amazing chef !!

Hey Donal, You have been my idol for years, and I have a special shelf dedicated to your cookbooks in my kitchen. I've seen you on the Late Late Show and heard you were in O'Connell's street in Dublin a few weeks back. I could'nt go though because I was busy. You have inspired me to keep on cooking and baking and improving my skills every day, so thank you sincerely for all that you taught me. -A Girl With Dreams And Hopes

I like how your recipes are really simple , full of flavor and easy to modify for your taste palette 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I am going to try this tonight and will let you know how it comes out. But first, questions: What is in your curry blend? Do you grind and blend your own? Do you have a reputable purveyor? Do you use organic ingredients? All the best! I like your vids and approach to cooking (for the most part).

I wanna try this out.Spicy curry and crispy chicken katsu. Yummy crunch crunch! You can also mix curry powder and turmeric powder with water/chicken stock in a small bowl to avoid it become lump and burn.

Does anyone notice that the thumbnail differs from the actual result? Both look good though.

Oh my goodness.......THAT SAUCE.....I'm a curry lover, and this looks spot on, thanks Donal :)

omg i've got the day off college and i'm sat watching all your videos haha

I love curry, thanks for recipe, its full of flavours and spices!

Brilliant, just made this and turned out amazing. Very close to the good curries I used to have in Japan when I lived there. Thanks a lot Donald!

only just seen this vid now and trying the recipe for the first time this evening. Looks delicious and can't wait to make/try it. I once choreogprahed Tricia Penrose for the 2002 uk entry for eurovision..'DJ Romeo' Great experience

This looks like a nice simple tasty dish. I will definitely try it.

Just discovered this channel Anna needless to say the problem of figuring out what to cook for my family is long gone, yay! Love Donal's energy and it's clear there's a great team behind him, so hats off to you guys. Keep doing what you're doing, loving it!!! :)

I'm actually so happy you made this video! I've been craving chicken katsu recently. Definitely gonna try out this recipe! Cheers Donal!

Just tried this and it's fantastic. A new family favourite.

Wow! My all time favortie Japanese food! huhuhu I am craving now Donald!!!!! Thank for this wonderful recipe! I am going to get this recipe and let my mom cook it! 😍😍😍

To stop a floorboard from squeaking, sprinkle talcum powder over the area and rub into the cracks. Wipe up excess. Viola! Quiet! ;-) Loved the recipe, too!

Love your recipe, Donal. I've printed it out & done it successfully many times! Thank you, Sir!

why use two parchment papers, when you can fold one in half?

I've been waiting forever for a good Katsu recipe, thank you Donal !

Great work, Donal. You make it all look so effortless (and do so without making a 3-car traffic wreck of the kitchen). I plan to make this one night next week. Thank you. Stay well and take care of those you love.

'...it's all store cupboard ingredients, except for your fresh ingredients' ... Nice, Donal

What kind of rice would go best with this recipe ? The rice in the video looks very nice, so just wondering what brand it is or if it is a specific type of rice.

Hi. This is sent a. Long time after this was posted. I made this dish today. It was absolutely delicious. Thank u for adding this to your collection.

Mmm. Curry is so delicious, but I hate that I can only get it when I go to Japanese restaurants AND that most recipes include pork or beef (i.e. stuff I can't eat). Thanks for this recipe, Donal.

Most Japanese katsu is alone on the plate with rice or cabbage on the side, if a sauce is used it is tonkatsu sauce, but if they do use curry its the Japanese variety which is less flavorful than Indian curries (in my opinion.)

can you show the inside of the pot? i know its hard cuz the camera gets all foggy but its helps in a cooking show where we can see "the sauce is reduced" or "the aromats have softened down" theres a degree of variation in those statements.

I'm so glad you did this video. I lived in Japan for 7 years and now I'm back in America and I crave curry ( cocos to be exact) so I'm definitely going to try this

i wish i can taste every recipe which you cook Donal

Grated apple to sweeten works well

A favorite dish that I love to order when I am visiting my favorite Sushi restaurant but now we can make it at home. Thanks Donal.

Your version looks great! Funny coincidence, but I'm making Japanese vegetarian curry tomorrow. It's extra tasty with grated ginger and apple.

I love this recipe... I haven't had chicken katsu curry in a very looong time! can't wait to try it🙌

Will be on the table tonight in Denmark. Yummmiiiii !

i just gave up eating rice..but after watching this..i wanna eat rice again..the curry looks yummy!

another fantastic dish

Where can I get your book here in the Philippines? Been dying for it ~_~

Use the Golden Curry, that's much easier and the flavor is wonderful...

i tried this recipe and it was more than delicious thank you for always sharing cool easy to make recipes...and please give us more of healthy recipes to try out

@Donal Skehan Hello Donal, I am from India..and i just watched an episode of Grandma's Boy..do you have any video making the carbonara like you did in this episode? Nona helped you rolling the pasta dough..that episode! Or can you tell me where i can find that episode of yours?

this is my go to channel for recipes to cook when i move out!

That is a nice, modernised and simple version of catsu curry. But I miss the carrots and potatoes from the Japanese curry sauce.

Mmm Katsu Curry looks delicious. I love curries made as you did and not with curry powder, and I’ve made TongKatsu - different finishing sauce of course. I am definitely going to do this one.

Would a quick marinade in soy sauce and spices before the "flour-egg-panko" step be useful?

Using one sheet of paper and folding it in half would reduce wastage. Also if u use Ice cream scoop for your rice the presentation is much better.

Yass nommm. I've made this before, it was pretty decent. If I made it again I would make a green curry cuz katsu curry is not very spicy and I need that in my life lmao

Lovely recipe ! I got up this Sunday thinking I wanna chicken curry for lunch today and suddenly I find myself with it ! Xo

Amazing mate will be trying this during the week as always brillant

I love everything you cook every of them look so yummy even taste tasty love it you are the best chef ever

Sending my love all the way from Botswana (Southern Africa) , you have inspired me to throw down some tasty in my kitchen, my friends look forward to my every meal, thank you

looks deliciously delightful👍

This must be the simplest katsu curry recipe I've seen, will definitely try it!

thank you for this wonderful recipe we need more like those

Looks fantastic! Thanks Donal

Beautiful!!! I will try it tonight

Ur the best chef ever

Can i use tomato sauce instead of the tomato purée? And the chicken stock with water?

Take a drink every time Donal says "nice"

You’ve got style!

A good tuber to collab with is Gemma from bigger bolder baking cuz she's Irish to

instead of hitting it with the rolling pin, can't i just butterfly it?

DONAL YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH AND I LOVE LOVE LOVE TRYING YOUR RECIPES! Please post more often?! :)

this recipe is amazing !

Oh, yes!! I'm am absolutely going to make this!! It looks delicious and very easy to prepare.

Where do you get tomato puree in a tube? Do they even make that in the States? It seems much more convenient than a can

Maybe I did something wrong, but when I added the chicken stock it never thickened up. I waited as long as I could before the whole pot cooked away. I had to add more chicken stock (since 80% evaporated) more spices and some cornstarch before it even came close to thickening.

can I use a regular blender instead of the one you used to puree the sauce?

donal, did you add salt and pepper to your flour ?, or it's just a plain flour

Lovely looking! What do use for breading if I'm allergic to eggs, though?

thank you for making this video I've been wanting to make something similar to chicken tikka masala and this looks perfect

I’m trying to prefect the sauce. Mine comes out too watery. Any tips? I’m going to try this method next time

I made this for tonight's tea! Great recipe it was delicious

Would anyone happen to know the music starting at 1:40 ? I've been trying to find it for so long...

I like your apron, Donal... 😍😍😍

donal if you don't have mild curry powder can we use normal curry powder

Donal, I can't find Eat. Live. Go. on Amazon.ca! Are you releasing your book under another title? I see your book, Fresh: Simple, delicious recipes to make you feel energised, is coming out in Canada in November. Is it the same book?

I recently discover your channel 😍 and i'm addicted ☺ your recipes are great clean and simple 😀 i'm attempting to make them 😊

made this last night. Wonderful!

yuri and his inspiration

I can't wait to try this.

I'll definitely give this a try. I've been using the bought curry roux cubes and they're a bit pricey so I'm looking forward to the made from scratch curry sauce. :)

Love the flavor profile!! What a great dinner idea for the cold weather 😊

yes i will try it soon

Ça a l'air trop bon 😋

Donal what about teaching us how to make kare kare?

Loved the blooper in the end!

I don't eat chicken, but this looks super yummy! But I can have the book instead😂

I like this recipe!

Thanks for This recipe mate, going to cook for the family tonight. Namaste
