- 1 potato, cubed

- Cooked short-grain rice
Method
- Bread the cutlet: Coat the meat in flour, egg, then panko breadcrumbs.
- Fry: Deep-fry until golden and crisp. Slice into strips.
- Make curry: Simmer onion, carrot and potato in stock until tender.

✅ Quick tip:
Most curries improve the next day because the spices and aromatics continue to develop overnight.
