    Yummy! So quick, so easy and so tasty. Next time I will use a spicier curry paste but highly recommend this recipe!

    I tried this recipe last night as my partner is a big fan of Katsu Curry, after one mouthfull he said it was a dish he wanted me to do regulary. I always thought it would be complicated to make but it was so easy, I never thought I would be eating cornflakes with chicken!

    I made this receipe mainly out of curiosity of what eating chicken with a cornflake crumb would taste like. It was Ok, I wouldn't make it again but it was edible and not digusting. The same cannot be said for the sauce however, It just tasted horrible, and I followed the recipe to the letter. My husband is a big Katsu chicken fan but when he tried it and I told him what it was supposed to be he said it tasted abosultely nothing like it and I agree.

    We liked this dish, but never had a Katsu chicken before. I adjusted one thing: added some salt to the sauce and served it with stir fried vegetables,soy sauce and stirred this through white rice. I used Panko, and this browns probably less than cornflakes. You can see my result at www.moniqueskeukentje.blogspot.com.

    I've made this on two occasions now and I loved it as did my guests! I used 2 good tbsp of paste and more cornflakes than stated as the punt stated wasn't enough, so tasty, easy and healthy. I served it with basmati & wild rice and mixed veg

    I cooked this and it was amazing, though I did add a little more spice. However the nutritional values are wrong, curry paste is high in fat and when i worked out the values of mine the meal contained 10g of fat.

    This is NOT Katsu curry. Japanese curry is nothing like korma paste. If you want to make Chicken Katsu curry you need to buy Japanese curry cubes and use panko breadcrumbs not cornflakes.

    This was good and quite simple. The sauce was a bit too watery though and needs some thickening. I also used whatever curry paste I had (I think any paste would work) Wasnt amazing but was tasty and probably will do again.

    Herons sell a curry powder £1.10 that is very simular to Japanese curry and is tasty as or if you go to a Chinese/Asain supermarket you can get Japanese curry cubes for about £2.50 ish and you can get Asian breadcrumbs from there as well.

    Miso paste also works well instead of the Korma paste

    We have had this a couple of times now. Both of us like it and it is very easy to make so great for mid week. I also added extra cornflakes and, on the second making, a hotter curry paste.

    Everyone really enjoyed this, even me, my own worst critic! I have to admit though, that it definitely wasn't authentic Japanese as I used a Madras paste for extra bite! Geography eh?!

    Lovely recipe for katsu - I live in rural France and Wagamama's doesn't exist here...nor do panko breadcrumbs! I had a yearning for this dish but used Special K cereal instead of cornflakes as its all I had and to be honest I don't think I'd try it with cornflakes now as it was so good using the Special K! I also found it tastier and a better texture when I tried it with turkey fillets instead. However I'm not convinced by the ingredients for the sauce, so I always make the sauce in the other chicken katsu recipe on this website. Hence the 3 stars - I would give the recipe for the meat part 5 stars.

    Not Katsu! For starters real Katsu is based on garam masala powder. I have been to Japan this year and this tastes nothing like it. Also in the picture it's too runny to be Katsu. If you want good Katsu it's best to go somewhere and have it preferably a Japanese restaurant as its one of those hard to get exact sauces.
