Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 100 g onion (diced)
  • 1 tbsp fresh garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger (finely diced)
  • 1.5 tbsp curry powder (medium heat (*see note))
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 400 ml vegetable stock
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cornflour
  • 2 tbsp water

Equipment

  • Vitamix High Power Blender

Instructions
 

  • Fry the onion, garlic and ginger in the coconut oil for 3 minutes in a large frying pan.
    2 tbsp vegetable oil, 100 g onion, 1 tbsp fresh garlic, 1 tbsp fresh ginger
  • Add the curry powder, turmeric and garam masala to the pan, stir together and fry for 2 minutes.  Add another tsp of oil or a tbsp of water if the mixture is sticking.
    1.5 tbsp curry powder, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tsp garam masala
  • Add the stock, lemon juice, soy sauce and sugar to the pan. 
    400 ml vegetable stock, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar
  • In a small bowl, mix together the cornflour and water. Add to the pan and stir together. Simmer for 3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
    1 tsp cornflour, 2 tbsp water
  • Let the curry sauce cool, and when it is safe to do so, add it to a blender and blend until smooth (don’t skip this step!). Alternatively, you can use a handheld stick blender.
  • Serve this katsu curry sauce over cooked rice (or cauliflower rice for a lower carb option) and a cooked breaded vegan chicken burger, cut into slices. Top with sliced spring onions, sesame seeds and fresh red chilli if you like a bit more heat!
