https://youtu.be/3RZxmCF4WrA

Trick i used to make it easy

1. Grab good premade katsu curry paste from grocery. I did this because i couldnt find many ingredients and with some missing ingredients the taste was not like katsu curry. This also make it easy to prepare.
2. I used froozen uncooked chicken parma from store. It save lot of time and mess.
3. Use good quality potato, the one which are intense cream color (dutch cream potato) tasted very good. Avoid using strong sweet tasting potato.
4. If u want to enjoy authentic taste , use jasmine /sticky rice.
5. Salad i prepare was simple using thin slices of cucumber, cabbage , onion and tomato. Sprinkle some salt, black pepper and olive oil.

Enjoy...
