Prepare the pork katsu: Season cutlets with salt and pepper, coat in flour, dip in beaten egg, and cover with panko.
Fry the cutlets: Heat oil and deep-fry until golden brown. Set aside to drain.
Make the curry: In a separate pan, sauté onions and carrots in oil. Add water and grated apple, bring to a boil.
Simmer until veggies are soft. Add curry roux and stir until it dissolves and thickens.
