Vegan Katsu curry sauce

This not-so-authentic Japanese katsu curry sauce is vegan and gluten-free. It’s warming, fragrant and slightly sweet thanks to the addition of a good old British Granny Smith apple. Grating the carrot and apple speed up the cooking time so you can have this whipped up by the time your rice has finished cooking. Griddled aubergines or spicy vegan burgers from Quorn (not GF) both work brilliantly. If you really want to show off serve it with my vegan Jackfruit ‘Chicken’.

Nutritional info

Turmeric, 'the spice of life' gives curry its yellow colour. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric when combined with black pepper the bioavailability is improved which means we can make the most of this warming spice.
