Hello !
Today I present to you a dish that I really like!
Story point:
Katsu curry called "Katsukare" comes from Japan, it is traditionally served with breaded pork, rice and curry sauce.
As you can guess, curry originated in India, it was imported by the British to Japan during the Meiji era.
Curry sauce (karē sōsu) is served over cooked rice to make curried rice. It is made by frying together the curry powder, flour and oil, along with other ingredients, to make roux (it is the mixture of flour and a fat to thicken sauces). It is traditionally added to cooked meat and vegetables, then simmered until thickened. The addition of potatoes to the curry sauce was introduced by William S. Clark of the Agricultural College in Sapporo, due to rice shortages at the time.
In Japanese homes, curry sauce is most often made from instant curry roux, available in both block and powder form, and contains curry powder, flour, oils, and various flavors. The ease of preparation, along with the wide variety and availability of instant curry mixes, has made curry rice very popular, as it is very easy to prepare compared to many other Japanese dishes.
