  • Panko breadcrumbs ensure a crispy coating for the chicken katsu.
  • Use a combination of carrot and potato for added texture and flavor in the curry.
  • Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
  • Ensure oil is hot enough before frying the chicken to achieve a crispy coating.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove excess oil from the fried chicken.
  • Allow curry sauce to simmer and thicken before serving for optimal flavor.
