I made a yasai katsu curry or veggie katsu curry, except that it contains no egg in the batter so really it’s a vegan katsu curry. Thick slices of juicy aubergine and sweet potato coated in panko breadcrumbs and shallow fried until crispy and golden brown are accompanied by an aromatic curry sauce, plain rice and a simple green salad.

Vegan katsu curry is a bit of a treat as it’s not exactly health food, but I’m sure we can roll with treating ourselves to a bit of golden crispiness now and again, can’t we?

INGREDIENTS

• 1 large aubergine
• 1 sweet potato, peeled
• about ½ cup all purpose flour / rice flour for GF version
• salt & pepper
• about 1 cup gelatinous aquafaba*, homemade or from a tin of chickpeas
• about 100 g panko breadcrumbs** or GF breadcrumbs if required
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds
• high smoke oil for shallow frying

CURRY SAUCE

• 2 tbsp neutral tasting oil

• 5 garlic cloves, finely diced
• 3 tsp ginger, finely grated
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• ½ Granny Smith (sour) apple, peeled and diced
• 1 heaped tbsp white miso paste (GF miso for gluten-intolerance)
• 4 tsp curry powder (I used hot madras curry powder)
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 4 tsp tamari or soy sauce
• 2 tsp rice vinegar
• 2 tsp mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine) or maple syrup, to taste
