Right you are in for an absolute treat here! Based on the famous Wagamama dish ‘katsu curry’, I’ve created a vegetarian version that is out of this world!


Aubergine katsu curry 🍆


Previously I used tofu in this dish and it was incredible, but I think using aubergine instead is EVEN better!


Coated in crispy panko breadcrumbs, served on nutty brown rice & fresh crispy salad, with ooozes of rich katsu curry sauce... HEAVEN


If you like wagamamas chicken katsu curry dish then you will absolutely love this version! And it’s healthier and cheaper than going to the restaurant!
