22nd January 2025. Ha-guess you'll need to try it! In celebration of Burns Night (25th January), Deliveroo has challenged renowned TV and TikTok trending Chef Jimmy Lee, owner of the award-winning Salt & Chilli Oriental in Glasgow, to create a culinary masterpiece that marries the flavours of Scotland and the Far East.

Introducing the first-ever 'Haggis Katsu Curry' - a new Japanese-Scottish fusion dish inspired by a traditional Chicken Katsu Curry, crowned one of the most trending dishes of 2024 on the delivery app in the UK, taking tenth place out of thirty in the hotly anticipated Deliveroo 100 report.

Created and developed by Chef Jimmy Lee exclusively for Deliveroo to mark the traditional Scottish occasion, the 'Haggis Katsu Curry' - guaranteed to make tastebuds sing - switches out chicken for locally reared and sourced mountain* 'haggis' tossed in light and crunchy panko breadcrumbs, served alongside a gently spiced Katsu curry sauce on a bed of fluffy jasmine rice.

Chef Jimmy Lee expressed his excitement about the collaboration: "Partnering with Deliveroo to create the 'Haggis Katsu Curry' has been a fantastic experience. It's a bonnie way to bring together the best of both worlds - Scottish tradition and culinary flair to pay homage to an important date in our country's calendar. We hope our customers will be as excited to tuck in and try something different this Burns Night."

In addition, for customers not based in Glasgow who want to celebrate Burns Night differently this year, Chef Jimmy Lee has shared his limited-edition 'Haggis Katsu Curry' recipe with step-by-step instructions across his Instagram and TikTok account so they can try their hand at making the delicious dish dedicated to Robert Burns for themselves.

Ollie Marriage, Regional Manager of Scotland at Deliveroo, added: "When it comes to Burns Night, our Scottish customers have come to expect the unexpected from Deliveroo, cooking up everything from Haggis Burritos by Fresh Mex to 'Pad Haggis' by Ting Thai - so we are back again to bring you another dish with a twist that will be the talk of the toon! We've challenged much-loved Chef Jimmy Lee from Salt & Chilli Oriental to create an innovative dish that pays homage to Scotland and our vibrant food scene in one go.
