plant-based-katsu-curry

I have called this Plant-Based Katsu Curry, but while it has the sauce of a Katsu curry, it doesn’t have the usual bread crumbed chicken or beef. In fact, it doesn’t have the bread crumbed vegetables either, as I don’t particularly like them, especially when they’ve been deep fried, but I do like the sauce, hence this recipe.

I’ve cooked the vegetables – wonderful cruciferous veggies – broccoli, cauliflower and the beta-carotene loaded sweet potato separately, then added them to the sauce. You can choose other vegetables if you prefer such as aubergine and courgette, they’ll work just as well. I served mine on a bed of brown rice and as a finishing touch, I added roasted cashew nuts and scallions/spring onions.

I hope you enjoy my Plant-Based Katsu Curry as much as I do!
