We tried YO!'s new Katsu Curry Doritos dish for National Curry Week

It's National Curry Week, which I am very aware of with the amount of curry I've been consuming, but one thing I didn't expect to be on my radar was Doritos.

Yes, Doritos, with flavours such as Tangy Cheese and Chilli Heatwave.

Well, Doritos have launched an exciting new curry product with YO! which I just had to try.

I wasn't really sure what to expect, the combination of sushi rice, a filling and crushed Chilli Heatwave Doritos felt more than a little bit weird.

But I tentatively sought out the Onigiri Katsu Krunch (if you want to try it then you can get it straight to your door here via Deliveroo or Just Eat).

They come in two different options, spicy chicken or spicy shitake mushroom.

I think one is significantly better than the other.

As you can see from the video, the onigiri are a little bit difficult to get into.

Typically I would eat an onigiri with my hands, but with them being fried and sitting in a bed of curry that just didn't seem like an option.

I found the vegetarian option had a really strong mushroom taste, which is fine but a little strange alongside the almost cheese flavour of the coating.

The chicken was slightly better, and the flavour was really unusual. The curry sauce seemed slightly jarring alongside the Dorito coating, but it was quite nice.

I would say this is one of those things that I'm glad I've tried, but definitely won't be making it's way into my regular order.

I would give the chicken 4/5 stars, but the mushroom gets 3.5/5.

But of course, YO! has a number of curry dishes on the menu so I decided it was only right to give them a go too.

The Pumpkin Katsu Curry is the highlight of the menu I would say.

The sweet pumpkin piece is the perfect contrast to the curry sauce, it's soft and tastes amazing.

The pickled ginger is quite a strong flavour if eaten by itself, but I think it goes really well alongside the tangy curry.

It is a vegan menu option, but I think it's tasty enough to be loved by meat eaters too.

This is the one thing you'll find me ordering whenever I go to YO!.

Rating: 5/5

The Katsu Chicken roll is a great option if you want in on the Katsu action, with a tonkatsu sauce drizzled across the top there is a definite heat.

It is filled with lettuce and chicken katsu pieces and rolled in the spicy shichimi powder which makes it more on the spicy side.

If you're eating at home it will come in portions of six pieces, but in store you get just three pieces (you can place an order for YO! at home here via Deliveroo or Just Eat).

Rating: 4.5/5

I'd say overall, YO! delivers with a quality experience.

I'm particularly a fan of the Firefly iced tea, which is my go to drink whenever I get a YO! delivery or pop in store.
