Ingredients

2 chicken breasts
1 tsp garam masala
Vegetable oil for deep frying

Batter Mixture

100g seasoned plain flour (plain flour with a dash of salt)
1 egg
200g Panko Breadcrumbs

Japanese Curry Sauce

2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 bay leaf
1 tbsp mild curry powder
½ tsp garam masala
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp turmeric
2 tbsp flour & 1 tsp cornflour
500ml chicken stock
1 tsp brown sugar
2 tsp honey
1-2 tbsp tamari (Japanese soy sauce)

Method

1. Get your chicken breasts and flatten them with a rolling pin until they are about 1cm thick (or if your chicken breasts are too thick, cut them in half lengthways to end up with two thinner pieces). Rub with 1tsp garam masala to marinade, and place to the side.

2. Next prepare the 3 bowls for the “batter station”. In the first bowl, place the seasoned plain flour. In the second, beat one egg. In the third, pour in 200g Panko breadcrumbs. Now line them up, with your bowl of marinaded chicken at the start: the order should go wet (chicken), dry (flour), wet (egg), dry (breadcrumbs).
