Method

Step 1
Heat the olive oil (30 ml) in a saucepan over medium heat and add in the sliced onion and grated carrot (1 carrot). Cook until the onions (1 onion) are soft and translucent. This will take 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 2
Add in the garlic (6 garlic) and ginger (20 g), stir, and cook for 1 minute before adding in the plain flour (30 g), curry (15 g) powder, and turmeric (5 g). Stir until well combined and it resembles a paste-like consistency. Cook for a further 1 minute.
Step 3
Gradually add in the chicken stock (300 ml) and coconut milk (250 ml) stirring continuously. Bring to a simmer and stir in the honey (40 g) and soy sauce (30 ml). Simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Blend the sauce until smooth and pass it through a sieve if you would like it extra smooth but this is optional.
Step 5
Finally taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness and saltiness with more honey (40 g) or soy sauce (30 ml) if needed. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon to really bring the flavours to life.

Questions people ask

How long does katsu curry sauce take?

About 32 min from start to finish, of which 15 min is prep and 17 min is cooking. That figure is worked out from the method rather than timed with a stopwatch, so give yourself a little more the first time.

How much does this make?

The original recipe did not state a yield, so nothing has been invented for it. The scale control on the recipe card multiplies the quantities instead, which is the honest version of the same thing.

Can I see the ingredients in ounces and pints?

Yes. The metric and imperial switch on the recipe card converts every quantity, rounded to amounts you can actually weigh or measure rather than to four decimal places. Your choice is remembered for every recipe on the site.
