Japanese Curry Croquette
Japanese Curry Croquette combines the comforting warmth of traditional Japanese curry with the delightful crunch of a croquette shell, creating an irresistible fusion of flavors and textures.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
3 cups russet potatoes - peeled and diced
1 medium onion - finely chopped
200 grams ground beef (minced beef) - organic if possible- 2 tablespoons Japanese curry powder
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Coating and Frying
1 cup all purpose flour (plain flour Australia and UK)
2 large eggs - beaten
2 cups Panko breadcrumbs - preferably Japanese
2 cups vegetable oil - for frying
Instructions
- Boil the diced potatoes in salted water for 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash until smooth.
- In a pan, sauté the chopped onion over medium heat in a bit of oil until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the ground beef, cooking until browned.
- Mix in the curry powder and soy sauce, allowing the flavors to meld for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Incorporate the beef mixture into the mashed potatoes, creating a cohesive mixture. Cool slightly for easier handling.
- Shape the potato mixture into 8 croquettes. Dust each with flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 180°C (350°F). Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Notes
For an added twist, try adding 1/4 cup of grated cheese into the potato mixture. Use gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
