Its meat free Monday, so why not try my delicious aubergine katsu curry for dinner this evening. 🍆


This is a take on the classic dish at Wagamama restaurants the ‘katsu curry’, and there’s a reason is so popular, because it’s delicious!


In this dish I used aubergine instead of chicken, and it works perfectly! The crispy coating on the aubergine still has a perfectly soft middle.


The curry sauce isn’t too spicy, but had a rich and deep curried flavour, with a beautiful after taste.


Make this dish and let me know how fabulous it is!
