Katsu Chicken Burgers with Curry Ketchup & Sesame Coleslaw
In Japan, ‘katsu’ refers to a meat cutlet that’s been breaded and fried - it’s often served with a mild curry or 'kare' sauce but here we’re turning it into a delicious chicken burger. The curry powder used to season both the chicken burger and accompanying ketchup didn’t arrive in Japan until the British introduced it there about 100 years ago, after its invention during their occupation of India in order to commercialise complicated Indian spice blends. The burger is teamed here with an array of exciting sides - Japanese mayo, curry ketchup, sesame-topped coleslaw, radish pickle, a tangy tamarind brown sauce, chips sprinkled with shichimi togarashi and finally some okonomiyaki!

Product Rating (1):
Have made everything bar the radish pickle and okonomiyaki. If the quality of the rest of the dishes are anything to go by then they will be just as good! The chicken was beautifully flavoured, the ketchup and brown sauce complimenting it perfectly. The mayo was such as a surprise - incredibly moreish and leaving me wanting more. We used white cabbage instead of Chinese cabbage for the coleslaw - it was still extremely tasty and well received by the whole family. A great spice kit!
