Kitchen Princess is a manga by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi in which every chapter is named after a dish. This is our own quick, family-friendly version of that dish, not the recipe from the book.
Japanese curry bread (kare pan) is usually deep-fried. Baking it is quicker and lets kids help with the rolling. Thick curry works best; if yours is runny, simmer it a few minutes first.
Make it a learning moment: Japanese curry came to Japan from Britain about 150 years ago and became one of the most popular home meals there.
