    Usually we associate Japanese recipes with fish, sushi and ramen. However, the more your read about Japanese cuisine, you realize that a tasty curry is an integral part of their hearty meal too. Just like the Indian curry,Japanese people love their curry rice (kare raisu), curry bread (kare pan) and curry udon (curry with noodles) too. You can make it vegan or vegetarian depending on your preference. Curry consists of a thick sauce with savory flavors and root vegetables. The key to this dish is the use of a variety of spices, including coriander, cumin and cinnamon. Learn to make it here.

    Whether its vegan katsu curry where tofu is cooked with panko breadcrumbs in coconut milk or Japanese golden curry with soy everyone is a big fan of this popular dish.If you have tasted the curry at any of the japanese restaurants, you will recall the umami flavour. The flavor bomb is the curry mix that we get in the market. You can find the golden curry mix in any Asian store. There are different varieties as per the level of spiciness you prefer. In this below recipe, we cook soy nuggets along with basic vegetables to make Japanese curry rice. Another great recipe is vegan okonomiyaki
