Where katsu curry sauce is in Tesco
Tesco stocks both S&B curry sauce mix and ready-made jarred katsu curry sauce in the world food aisle.
What to ask a member of staff
Ask for katsu curry sauce or curry sauce mix, and specify Japanese style if the shop also stocks Indian curry mixes nearby.
Asian supermarkets
A Japanese grocer carries a wider range of curry roux blocks and mixes than a UK supermarket typically does.
Buying it online
Curry roux blocks keep well, so buying a couple of boxes online is sensible if you make katsu curry often.
Storing it
Keep sachets and blocks in the cupboard. Once a jar of ready-made sauce is opened, refrigerate and use within a few days.
Frequently asked questions
Is katsu curry sauce spicy?
No, it is mild and slightly sweet, closer to a gentle curry gravy than a hot curry.
Can I make katsu curry sauce from scratch?
Yes, using a curry roux block or your own blend of curry powder, flour and stock, though the mix is a reliable shortcut.
