Tonkatsu

or breaded pork cutlet with curry sauce is a popular dish in Japan. What makes this comfort food different than the other curries is that the meat is coated in breadcrumbs and fried before having a delicate curry sauce slathered all over it. This is one of my favorite curry dish, it is satisfying that will make you beg for more.

 

 

Note:

  • For this recipe, you can also improve the meat texture by pounding it first, making it extra tender. You can use a back of your knife to pound.
  • Pork cutlet is a perfect pairing for the Japanese curry sauce, but you can substitute chicken instead.
