Katsu curry
Katsu curry (Japanese: カツカレー, romanized: katsukarē) is a Japanese dish consisting of tonkatsu (pork cutlet) served with Japanese rice and curry. It is served on a large plate and is typically eaten using a spoon or fork. The cutlet is usually precut into strips, eliminating the need for a knife.

Generally eaten as a main course, the dish can be accompanied with fukujinzuke pickles and miso soup. In Japan, there are fast-food restaurant chains which specialize in serving katsu curry, with varying meats and types of curry. The pork cutlet can be substituted with chicken.

In Japan, the name refers exclusively to a dish of curry served with a cutlet. However, in the United Kingdom, where the dish enjoyed a surge in popularity in the 2010s, the name is sometimes applied to any type of Japanese curry, with the curry itself sometimes referred to as "katsu sauce".
