Sweet potato katsu curry from Wagamama

Fried foods are 100% my guilty pleasure & sweet potato katsu curry from Wagamama is one of my favourite meals to recreate - so here's my own version with @aldiuk at home. Paired with fragrant basmati rice and corn flakes for the crispy coating (so inexpensive at 50p for the whole box) - so easy and delicious in less than 30 mins.

Katsu ingredients:
2 tbsp veg oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 extremely large tbsp smooth peanut butter
2 heaped tbsp of curry powder
2 carrots, chopped
500ml chicken stock
1 onion, chopped
1 clove of garlic, chopped
1 tbsp flour

Sweet potato ingredients:
1&1/2 cups of crushed corn flakes
1 very large sweet potato
1 egg, whisked
1/2 cup white flour
2 cups sunflower oil
1 bag of basmati rice for the microwave (microwave for 2 mins) or 1 cup of basmati rice

Add your oil & chopped onion to a pan, cook on low heat until clear. Add in garlic and carrots, & cook for about 5-7 mins until the carrots begin to soften. Add in your chicken stock, curry powder, peanut butter & soy sauce. Stir on medium heat until the peanut butter has dissolved (3-5mins). Once peanut butter has dissolved, whizz everything in your blender. Add a dash of flour if the sauce needs thickening. Blend again & leave in the blender until time to serve (only about 12 mins). For the sweet potato, prick skin & microwave at 3-min intervals, rotating on all sides, until you are able to stick a fork in the skin easily. Then leave to cool & slice, peeling away the skin. Once the skin is removed, pop the slices on a plate & microwave with a dash of water over then for 1 on each side. Put the flour in one dish, whisked egg in another & crushed cornflakes in a third one. Coat your sweet potato slices in flour all over, egg all over & corn flakes all over (in that order). Once all ready to fry, heat your oil until almost bubbling. Place each slice into the oil & fry until caramel coloured on each side. Then serve rice, fried sweet potato & pour katsu sauce generously on top.
