Now, make a curry sauce:

  1. Take a saucepan and add ketchup (or tomato paste, tsp sugar, tbsp water), curry powder, Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce), vinegar, and water to adjust.

  2. Whisk it all together.

How easy was that? Let’s cook Currywurst together with simple steps!

Ingredients

For the Sausage:

  • 4 bratwurst (substitute: any cooked sausage like frankfurter or chicken sausage)

  • 1 tbsp oil for frying

For the Curry Ketchup Sauce:

  • ½ cup ketchup (substitute: tomato paste + 1 tsp sugar + 2 tbsp water)

  • 1 tsp curry powder (adjust to taste)

  • ½ tsp paprika (substitute: chili powder for a spicier version)

  • ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce (substitute: soy sauce)

  • ½ tsp vinegar (substitute: lemon juice)

  • 1 tbsp water (to adjust consistency)

For Serving:

  • Extra curry powder for sprinkling

  • French fries or bread roll (optional)

Before We Start:

  • Use pre-cooked sausages – Traditional bratwurst is ideal, but any cooked sausage works.

  • Balance the sauce – Adjust sweetness, tanginess, and spice to your liking.

  • Fry or grill the sausages – This adds extra flavor and crispiness.

Instructions

Cook the Sausages

Step 1: Take a pan, add oil, and heat it over a medium flame.
Step 2: Fry sausages in the pan for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. (Or you can grill them.)
Step 3: Remove from the pan, place on a plate, and cut into bite-sized slices.

Make the Curry Sauce

Step 4: Take a saucepan over low flame. Add ketchup, curry powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce (or soy sauce), vinegar, and water (for consistency adjustment).
Step 5: Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Step 6: Add salt and black pepper to adjust seasoning. Add sugar for sweetness or more vinegar for a tangy flavor.

Assemble & Done

Step 7: Pour the warm curry sauce over the sliced sausages. Sprinkle extra curry powder.
 Serve immediately for a hot, smoky taste and an attractive look. Serve with fries or a bread roll.

Serve

  1. Take a white platter or a rustic wooden board (for a street-food feel).

  2.  Place a paper over it and a toothpick alongside.

  3.  Arrange dipping sauces in small bowls, like curry ketchup or mayo.

  4.  Use a red and white napkin with it.

  5.  Add a small salad for a fresh look.
