Instant Japanese Chicken Katsu Curry with Indian Spices in 10 mins. in Pressure Cooker | Japanese Chicken Curry Recipe – Curry for the Soul
Friends, Japanese Chicken Curry rice is very popular in Japan as well as in restaurants all over. After a holiday in Japan, my grandson loved this Chicken Katsu Curry and now in Australia, whenever we go for shopping, he used to ask for Japanese curry rice. When I had a taste of it in one of the Australian restaurants, I too found it delicious but it was sweet and not meant for our Indian pallet. So I thought I should add some Indian touch and zing to this curry.
Friends, my mission is to introduce the magical Indian spices to the western world. Hence, I tried this popular Japanese Chicken Curry with the Katsu Golden Curry sauce which is readily available in all super markets. I shallow fried the chicken thighs with Tandoori Masala instead of the salt and pepper which is used by Japanese and to the curry, I added some Kashmiri dry red chillies, ginger and garlic to transform the sweet curry into a medium hot curry to go well with the rice as it is eaten in Japan. Now my family enjoys this Japanese curry rice at home as it can be made instantly. The chicken gets cooked in 10 minutes and in the meantime, onion, potatoes and carrots with sauce mix gets cooked in the pressure cooker in 1 whistle. How convenient and easy this curry can be?
Please try my version of this super quick and easy Japanese Chicken Katsu Curry with the magical Indian spices which is better than the restaurant one. I am sure you will love it but don’t forget to comment, like, share and SUBSCRIBE to my channel Curry for the Soul on YouTube for more such quick and exciting recipes.
