Easy Japanese fusion curry potato croquettes - recipe

Croquettes have almost universal appeal, because who doesn’t like starchy fried things? The Japanese version of croquettes, called korokke, is very adaptable, which means its great for using up small bits of meat, seafood and vegetables in the fridge. If you like, make vegetarian croquettes by omitting the beef and adding more vegetables (blanched peas and/or corn kernels are good). If you're feeding children (or others with sensitive palates) then decrease the amount of curry powder.

The fried croquettes taste good hot, warm and at room temperature. They can be reheated in the oven.

Panko are Japanese bread crumbs. Shichimi togarashi is seven spice mixture; if you don't have it, subsitute a little chilli powder mixed with sesame seeds.
