To Prepare the Japanese Curry
- 2
Make your choice of Japanese curry: Beef Curry, Chicken Curry, Instant Pot Curry, Pork Curry, Instant Pot Seafood Curry, Vegetarian Curry, and more on the blog post. If you have time, I recommend making the curry one day before you serve the Katsu Curry. The flavor is better the next day, and it's easier to reheat the curry rather than making it from scratch while you prepare the Katsu.
