Katsu means battered in Japanese panko breadcrumbs and fried. The technique is typically used with chicken and served with Japanese curry over rice. I substituted the chicken for tofu cutlets, and the results were the same – utterly delicious! We ate our Tofu Katsu with Japanese curry stew with root vegetables, over a bed of…

Curry Lentil and Sweet Potato Patties
Summertime is arriving! It cannot come soon enough. My favorite season always makes me want burgers and dogs and all types of barbecue goodness. This curry veggie patty helped curb that craving, and was a new flavor take on the ubiquitous veggie burger! This patty is made with cooked green lentils and sweet potatoes, mashed…
Lentils Masala
I wanted to make daal, or Indian red lentil soup, but I won’t dare to call this dish the same as the daal from my favorite Indian restaurant. It isn’t as soupy as my idea of daal, but it is, however, warm and aromatic, comforting, and delicious. I used garam masala, dried coriander, and cumin…
Japanese Curry
I had never had Japanese Curry before my coworker suggested I give it a try. I am lucky to have a Japanese food mart right near my office so I can easily go browse and pick up interesting ingredients. Japanese curry comes in a powdered block that dissolves in water and makes a thick, warm,…
Curry Trail Mix
I love a good trail mix. I’m a chronically hungry person, so trail mix is my friend. I keep nuts and dried fruits available at my work desk and in our cabinets almost always (and not to mention my purse!) For a quick jolt of energy and calories when I’m in a pinch. I was…
Thai Red Vegetable Curry
I love trying new curry recipes. It’s always fun to change up the flavors in the sauces and the combinations of vegetables and textures in the dish. I typically use curry powder for my curries, which has a smokey flavor, but this time I tried red curry paste and added creamy coconut milk for a…
Chana Masala
I’m on a bit of a homemade Indian food kick lately, and since I still have the spices handy from my Chicken Tikka Masala recipe (hubby’s fav), I decided to try MY fav, Chana Masala. This is a slightly spicy, tomato-based chickpea dish that’s wonderful served over rice or couscous. It’s fragrant, warm, simple, and…
Chik’n Tikka Masala
I used to love tikka masala sauce in my vegetarian days. Hubs would have chicken tikka and I would have veggies simmered in this delicious spicy and creamy sauce. I really miss being able to just open a jar from the cabinet and blast everything in the skillet with flavor. I’ve been putting off making…
Vegetable and Chickpea Tagine
During New York City’s Restaurant Week in early February, hubs and I tried out a French restaurant called Claudette for the first time. Besides having a wonderful, cozy atmosphere and a nice hubbub, the food was also delicious. I had the Vegetable Tagine from their restaurant week menu and it was fantastic! It came in…
Slow Cooker Cauliflower and Potato Curry
Tired of slow cooker recipes yet? Nope, me neither! This one was from Half Baked Harvest and if you like curry flavor, it’s absolutely delicious. I splurged for all the garnishes for this one (a rare occurrence!), and it made a huge impact on the flavor of the dish. The coconut milk + red curry paste sauce…
