With the growing fandom of Korean culture in India, a lot of people are keen to explore the authentic flavours of cuisine. To put your quest to an end, here is a delicious and easy recipe to make Donkatsu at home. This dish is basically a Korean-style pork cutlet that is full of flavourful bites.
The Korean-style pork cutlet (Donkatsu or Donkkaseu) is inspired by a popular Japanese dish, Tonkatsu which is again inspired by the French dish, côtelette de veau. To make this culinary haven at home, start by preparing the sauce as you mix ketchup, brown sugar, tonkatsu sauce, milk, and water in a bowl. Set it aside and melt some butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add flour to it and continuously stir till the flour is thoroughly combined with the butter. Let it cook on medium-high heat for five minutes or till it turns brown. Add the prepared sauce mix and let the mixture cook on medium-low heat for eight minutes. Mix some cornstarch and water properly in a separate bowl and pour it into the pan after the sauce is thickened. Now, let it cook on low heat for five minutes and then set it aside or keep it on the stove on the lowest heat setting as you prepare the cutlet.

Prepare the meat by lightly scoring or pounding it into a diamond pattern using a knife or a mallet, then soak it in milk for 10 minutes to tenderise it and neutralise any strong flavours. Drain it and set it aside. Assemble your breading station by preparing four essential elements, pork cutlets, a plate of seasoned flour (flour, garlic powder, onion powder), a bowl of beaten eggs, and a plate of panko bread crumbs. This helps you streamline the coating process. Coat the pork cutlets evenly with seasoned flour, egg wash, and panko crumb encrustation, in that order. Repeat this sequence for each cutlet for uniformly breaded meat. Pour a substantial amount of oil into a deep fryer or large pan and heat it up to 175°C (350°F). Deep fry the pork cutlets in hot oil for four minutes and flip frequently for uniform cooking. Remove the cooked cutlets once golden-brown and cooked through and place them on paper towels to dab the excess oil off. Repeat this process for every cutlet and serve them on preferably a large plate with your preferred sides. Garnish with a savoury drizzle of the prepared sauce and enjoy!
