made this last week, and so easy. Next time I make it, I probably wouldn’t bother straining the katsu sauce after blending it, as I think the consistency is much nicer when slightly thicker.
Love a tasty curry and it really isn’t hard to make one. I encourage anyone who thinks it difficult to try, it isn’t. There are some great recipes in this selection and I’ve cooked some of them already.
