Cooking Method

Step 01	To make the sauce, heat the oil in a small pan. Add the onion and garlic, and saute it for 2 minutes.
Step 02	Throw in carrots and cook it for 10 minutes with the lid on until carrots are soft.
Step 03	Stir in the flour and curry powder, and cook for a minute.
Step 04	Pour in the stock slowly until combined. Do this gradually to avoid getting lumps.
Step 05	Add the sugar, soy sauce, and bay leaf, and bring to the boil. Then reduce heat and simmer for approximately 20 minutes or until sauce thickens.
Step 06	Add the garam masala, then pass the sauce through a sieve.
Step 07	Lay the seasoned flour, egg, and breadcrumbs on separate plates.
Step 08	Coat the chicken in the flour, then dip it into the egg and finally into the breadcrumbs.
Step 09	Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the breaded chicken for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden.
Step 10	Remove the chicken from the pan and blot it with a paper towel.
Step 11	Slice the chicken diagonally and serve with the sauce drizzled over, rice, pickles, and salad.

For a healthier option, skip the deep frying and prepare the katsu in the oven instead.
