There’s a certain restaurant that sells Chicken Katsu Curry and it always seems quite popular. I have to admit before I made it at home, I had never eaten it in a restaurant. The only reason is I have a gluten intolerance and I have never seen a gluten free version of this meal. (Please forgive me if I’m wrong). Now there is a gluten free version of this dinner and I have the pleasure in sharing the recipe with you. Below is a video and recipe for you.

Chicken Katsu Curry was gratefully received by my little family. It was a fairly easy meal to construct and it was demolished by my hungry husband and son. They really enjoyed this dish and so did I. It made a delicious Saturday night ‘Fake Takeaway’ but it can be eaten any night of the week. The sauce is freezable so if you are in a rush you could make this part during the week and freeze it. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, enjoy.
