Torikatsu Curry is an emblematic dish of Japanese cuisine, appreciated for its perfect balance of gourmet goodness and comfort. It combines crispy breaded chicken, covered with typically Japanese panko breadcrumbs, with a sweet, thick and fragrant curry sauce, served piping hot on a bed of white rice.

Inspired by traditional chicken katsu, Tori Katsu Curry is distinguished by the addition of Japanese curry sauce, a creamy preparation with slightly sweet, spicy and very comforting flavors. This tasty recipe, extremely popular in yoshoku-style restaurants (Westernized cuisine in Japan), is ideal for a complete and generous meal at home, whether for a family lunch or a convivial dinner.

Quick and easy to prepare, this homemade dish appeals to children and Asian food lovers alike, thanks to its tender chicken and delicately spicy taste. Japanese curry can be customized with vegetables such as carrots, onions or potatoes, for an even more nourishing version. Served with soft Japanese rice or short-grain rice, Tori Katsu Curry becomes a true invitation to culinary travel, directly inspired by the warm flavors of Japan.

Instructions

Lightly flatten fillets or thighs with a rolling pin or pestle to ensure uniform thickness.
Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Pass each piece successively through: flour, beaten egg, panko breadcrumbs.
Heat the oil in a frying pan to 180°C.
Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
Drain on absorbent paper and leave to stand for 2-3 minutes.
In a small saucepan, mix the stock, curry paste, soy sauce and sugar.
Add vegetables (potato and carrot) if you wish.
Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Serve the Tori Katsu Curry by cutting the chicken into thin slices.
Serve over hot rice.
Pour the curry sauce over the top and garnish with sliced green onions.

Recipe notes

For extra-crisp chicken, lightly moisten panko breadcrumbs before breading.

Variants :

Replace the thighs with chicken fillets for a lighter version.

Add vegetables such as zucchini or snow peas to the curry sauce for a complete dish.

For a milder curry, use coconut milk in the sauce.

Serving suggestion: Serve hot, just after cooking, to retain the crispness of the chicken and the fragrance of the curry.
