In England, especially in London, it seems that "Katsu curry", which originated in Japan, is gaining popularity due to the growing popularity of Japanese food. That's fine, but for some reason, it is said that supermarkets in London sell even "Katsu curry paste" . suspicious. It's too suspicious. Did you grind the cutlet curry !?

By chance, an acquaintance visited London, so I actually bought it. When I tried to eat it while being terribly nervous, it was a betrayal.

---

I got a bottled product called "KATSU CURRY PASTE". It is sold by the supermarket "TESCO", and according to the company's mail-order site, it can be purchased for about £ 2.

The contents are unexpectedly normal. When I licked it, it was sour! It's sour. On the other hand, the spice flavor that gradually comes afterwards. It seems that it is contained enough to sweat slowly.


However, I can't find the wreckage of Katsu curry that I was afraid of. There is something with a rough texture, but there is no cutlet-like meatiness (?).

Looking at the ingredient display, mirin rice wine and soy sauce-that is, mirin and soy sauce are used. Also, tomato paste, concentrated lemon juice, onion puree, rapeseed oil, various spices, etc. strange. You can't find the cutlet element at all!


The recipe was written on the package, so I opened it. What we make is "Chicken Katsu Curyy". Yes, the cutlet curry paste was the material for making chicken cutlet curry .



I mean ... "Curry paste" is fine without adding "cutlet" to the product name! I want you to return these few days when I was wondering how to eat "Katsu curry-flavored paste". I just misunderstood it, but I feel like I was deceived.

By the way, in London, chicken cutlets often come out when you ask for "KATSU". The cutlet curry offered by the Asian restaurant chain "WAGAMAMA", which is said to be at the center of the boom, is also "chicken cutlet curry" (and rice is on top of the cutlet!).

There may be various reasons why cutlet is chicken instead of pork, but Japanese curry is cutlet curry, and cutlet curry is chicken cutlet curry.

Although I was disappointed with the disappointing result, it may be a seasoning that makes the cutlet curry dramatically delicious. So, let's make chicken cutlet curry with the TESCO recommended recipe.
