Katsu Curry with Fish

Katsu Curry with Fish is a delightful twist on the traditional Japanese katsu, featuring crispy breaded fish fillets served over a rich and flavorful curry sauce. This kosher dish combines the savory depth of Japanese curry with the lightness of seafood, creating a comforting meal perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g., cod or halibut) - 200 grams
• Panko breadcrumbs - 100 grams
• All-purpose flour - 50 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Vegetable oil - 100 ml (for frying)
• Onion - 1 medium, chopped
• Carrot - 1 medium, diced
• Potato - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Japanese curry roux (kosher) - 100 grams
• Water - 500 ml
• Soy sauce (kosher) - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste
• Chopped green onions - for garnish

Steps

1. Prepare the fish by seasoning both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge each fillet in flour, dip into beaten egg, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the fish fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside on paper towels to drain excess oil.
3. In the same pan, add chopped onion, carrot, and potato. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
4. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Pour in 500 ml of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and stir in the Japanese curry roux, dissolving it completely. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens, adding soy sauce for extra flavor.
6. Taste the curry and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
7. To serve, place a portion of the curry sauce on each plate, top with the crispy fish fillets, and garnish with chopped green onions.
