Want an indulgent takeaway that you can make at home, that tastes just as good? My katsu curry recipe is healthy and incredibly easy to make. This fakeaway recipe will allow you to toss all the ingredients together and create a delightful dinner in less than 30 minutes.
I am not a fan of a chain restaurant, but I do make an exception for Wagamamas. Their yasai katsu curry is my absolute favourite; sweet potato, butternut squash and aubergine in crispy panko breadcrumbs, sticky white rice and the salad. Yum yum!
My chicken katsu curry recipe is easy to make and is a great substitute to eating out – lowering the calories too. If you are vegetarian or vegan, you can use vegetables instead. Dig into this fakeaway recipe!
Do not let the number of ingredients put you off. Or, that it looks a bit fiddly. Honestly, it looks scarier than it actually is, and you will have the majority of the herbs and condiments in your store cupboard staples. It is very easy to make.

Can you freeze the healthy katsu curry recipe?
It can be frozen and reheated if you are batch cooking as long as the chicken has not been previously frozen. It is recommended that you only keep it for up to 3 months. Make sure you use freezer-proof food storage containers.
Alternatives to Grease Proof Paper
Unfortunately, kitchen foil, aluminium foil and grease proof paper is not recyclable. You can now purchase roasting dishes with lids, which are an investment, but you will never have to use foil again. Or you can buy reusable baking sheets, which are wipeable. (These are my favourite!) Other examples are leaf wraps, seaweed and banana leaves.
